The PFL204 RICH is a lightweight, two-piece oval flange housing manufactured from high-quality pressed steel. Specifically designed for 204 series insert bearings (typically with a 20 mm bore), this "PFL" series housing offers a compact and cost-effective mounting solution for light-duty mechanical assemblies. The two-piece stamped steel construction allows the bearing to be securely sandwiched between the plates, while the oval shape with two mounting holes (spaced at 71.5 mm) makes it ideal for applications with limited mounting surface area. The internal profile is spherically ground to facilitate the self-alignment of the insert bearing, ensuring that any minor shaft misalignment is absorbed without damaging the unit. It is commonly utilized in agricultural equipment, light conveyors, and office machinery where the weight and cost of cast iron housings are not required.
Key Performance Advantages:
Optimized Oval Geometry: Two-bolt flange design provides a stable mount while maintaining a very slim profile for tight installations.
Self-Alignment Support: Works in tandem with spherical insert bearings to accommodate angular misalignment and reduce shaft friction.
Ultra-Lightweight: At just 0.092 kg, it is an excellent choice for weight-critical mobile or portable equipment.
Durable Protection: The steel structure is treated for basic corrosion resistance, suitable for protected industrial and farming environments.
Transparency Note: This housing is manufactured under the RICH brand. The code PFL204 is used for identification purposes and does not imply affiliation with other manufacturers.
