Product Overview: The FL 215 Two-Bolt Oval Flange Bearing Housing
The FL 215 is a robust two-bolt oval flange bearing housing, designed to provide secure and stable mounting for insert bearings on flat surfaces. As a key component in our FL 200 Series of Bearing Housing units, it is manufactured from high-grade cast iron to ensure durability, absorb vibrations, and withstand heavy operational demands. This housing is specifically engineered to be paired with a 75mm shaft diameter UC 215 insert bearing, creating a complete, ready-to-mount unit that simplifies machine design and assembly.
Ideal for applications where mounting space is limited or where a perpendicular mounting surface is available, the FL 215's oval shape and two-bolt design offer a compact and reliable solution. It comes equipped with a grease nipple, allowing for convenient relubrication to maximize the service life of the housed bearing. Our FL 215 units are essential for ensuring the proper function and longevity of machinery across various industrial sectors.
