Product Overview: The FC 207 Round Flanged Cartridge Housing
The FC 207 is a robust and reliable round flanged cartridge housing designed to provide secure support for rotating shafts. As a key component in our Bearing Housing lineup, this unit is specifically engineered to be paired with a standard 35mm bore insert bearing, such as the popular UC 207. Part of the FC 200 Series, its circular design with four mounting holes is ideal for applications where the bearing unit needs to be mounted flush against a machine's frame or surface, offering excellent stability and alignment.
Constructed from high-grade cast iron, the FC 207 housing provides excellent protection for the insert bearing, shielding it from contaminants and operational stress. This design simplifies machinery assembly and maintenance by allowing for easy installation and replacement of the bearing insert. Explore our comprehensive range of FC Series housings to find the perfect solution for your industrial application.
