Product Overview: The F 214 Square Flange Bearing Housing
The F 214 is a robust four-bolt square flange bearing housing unit designed to securely mount insert bearings for reliable shaft support. As a key component in our F 200 Series of Bearing Housings, it is engineered for applications requiring sturdy mounting on flat, perpendicular surfaces. This unit is typically paired with a 70mm shaft diameter insert bearing, such as the UC 214, providing a complete mounted bearing solution.
Constructed from high-strength cast iron, the F 214 housing ensures durability and stability in demanding industrial and agricultural environments. Its design simplifies installation and alignment, while a built-in grease nipple allows for easy relubrication, extending the service life of the bearing. This housing is an essential part for creating reliable rotating assemblies in various types of machinery.
