A flanged bearing is a type of rolling-element bearing that features an outer ring with a flange or lip. The flange provides additional support and stability, making these bearings ideal for applications involving high loads or misalignment.
There are various types of flanged bearings available, including:
Flanged bearings are widely used in various industries, including:
A factory engineer was dealing with frequent bearing failures in a conveyor system. After replacing numerous bearings, he realized that the flange bolts were not properly tightened, resulting in misalignment and premature wear. By addressing the flange mounting issue, the bearing life was significantly extended.
A technician installed a flanged ball bearing in a high-speed motor. However, the motor started to overheat and generate excessive noise. Upon further investigation, it was discovered that the bearing was not adequately lubricated. The technician applied lubrication, and the motor operated smoothly.
A maintenance crew was replacing a flanged roller bearing in a heavy-duty pump. They used a hammer to remove the bearing, but they accidentally damaged the flange. The flange had to be replaced, resulting in costly downtime and repairs.
