When faced with flat horizontal or vertical faces, flange units offer a simple mounting solution. As with pillow block supports, flange units are produced with spherical location to accommodate standard bearing housings and provide easy initial alignment of shaft and equipment.
To facilitate positive location of the flange to the surface, the rear face is recessed (dimensions N & V). This allows for a spigot (Tolerance f8) to be located into the flange.
Bearing inspection is simply a matter of removing the top half of the flange and housing. Bearing replacement may also be achieved in the same manner if required.
When integrating flange units into new applications, it should be noted that a maximum radial load equivalent to 0.26Cor is permissible. A maximum axial load of 0.25Ca must also be taken into account for applications with thrust loading. Units for vertically oriented shafts may also need special consideration given to sealing arrangements.
As always, Timken will be happy to advise on any application issues.
