Housed Bearings – Durable Mounted Bearing Units for Industrial Applications

At Bolton Engineering Products Ltd, we stock a comprehensive range of housed bearings designed for reliable performance, easy mounting, and long service life.
Our range includes flanged bearings, pressed steel housed bearing units, and premium cast-iron options engineered for smooth operation in industrial, agricultural, and mechanical machinery.

Whether you need standard housed units or specific models like the F205 flange bearing, BEP Ltd provides high-quality, ready-to-install solutions for every application.

What Are Housed Bearing Units?

Housed bearings (also known as mounted bearings or bearing units) combine a bearing insert with a robust housing.

This makes them easy to install while offering excellent alignment capability, vibration resistance, and protection against contaminants.

These units are ideal for:

  • Conveyors and material handling equipment
  • Agricultural and forestry machinery
  • Fans, pumps, and blowers
  • Packaging, processing, and automated machinery
  • General industrial power transmission

Types of Housed Bearings We Supply

  • 2-Bolt Flange Bearings (UFL / UCFL)
  • 4-Bolt Flange Bearings (UCF / F205 & F200 series)
  • Pillow Block Bearings (UCP series)
  • Pressed Steel Housed Bearing Units
  • Take-up Units (UCT series)
  • Thermoplastic Housed Bearings

From compact, lightweight pressed steel housed bearing units to heavy-duty cast iron options — we stock them all.

FAQs

Q1: What is F205 flange bearing?

The F205 4-BOLT FLANGE is a heavy duty economical solution that is durable with interchangeable housing.

Q2: What is the dissimilarity between pressed steel housed bearings and cast iron?

Cast iron units are stronger, and are used in applications with heavy loads.
Pressed steel units are lighter and they offer good rust resistance, so they have suitable for light duty use.

Q3: Can the flanged bearings be used for misalignment shaft?

Yes. The majority of flanged bearings have self-aligning bearing inserts that adjust to any possible misalignment.

Q4: Are the housed bearing units pre-lubricated?

Yes, all units are pre-lubricated and have grease nipples for re-lubrication as required.
