The PFT 205 RICH is a specialized triangular three-bolt flange housing manufactured from high-grade pressed steel. This model is engineered to house standard 205 series insert bearings (typically with a 25 mm bore). The "PFT" triangular configuration provides superior stability compared to two-bolt oval flanges while remaining significantly lighter and more compact than traditional square cast iron units. The housing consists of two interlocking steel plates that securely clamp the bearing in place. Its internal seat is spherically shaped to support the self-aligning capabilities of the insert bearing, allowing it to compensate for shaft deflections or mounting misalignments. This housing is an excellent choice for light-to-medium duty applications in agricultural machinery, textile equipment, and conveyor systems where space optimization and weight reduction are essential.
Key Performance Advantages:
Three-Bolt Stability: The triangular mounting pattern offers enhanced load distribution and structural rigidity for radial forces.
Self-Alignment Support: Facilitates the movement of spherical insert bearings to prevent internal mechanical stress and overheating.
Compact Profile: The slim 4 mm flange thickness (A1) allows for mounting in restricted spaces where standard housings would not fit.
Maintenance Efficiency: Simple two-piece design allows for rapid assembly and easy bearing replacement during scheduled maintenance.
Transparency Note: This housing is manufactured under the RICH brand. The code PFT 205 is used for identification purposes and does not imply affiliation with other manufacturers.
