The PF204 RICH is a circular flange housing engineered from high-strength pressed steel, specifically designed to accommodate 204 series insert bearings (typically featuring a 20 mm bore). This housing is composed of two symmetrical stamped steel plates that interlock to securely hold the bearing in a flange-mounted configuration. The round shape provides a balanced and aesthetically clean mounting interface, distributing radial loads evenly across the mounting surface. Its exceptionally slim 2 mm flange thickness (A1) makes it an ideal choice for applications with restricted axial space, such as thin-walled machinery or compact conveyor systems. The internal profile of the housing is spherically contoured, enabling the insert bearing to self-align and compensate for minor shaft deflections. Commonly found in agricultural machinery, material handling, and light industrial fans, the PF204 offers a cost-effective and lightweight alternative to heavy cast iron housings.
Key Performance Advantages:
Balanced Load Distribution: The circular design ensures even stress transfer to the mounting structure.
Ultra-Slim Profile: Minimal thickness allows for integration into compact assemblies where space is at a premium.
Ease of Maintenance: The two-piece construction simplifies the process of bearing replacement and assembly.
Self-Alignment Support: Precision-stamped internal surfaces facilitate the swiveling motion of spherical bearings to maintain optimal shaft performance.
Transparency Note: This housing is manufactured under the RICH brand. The code PF204 is used for identification purposes and does not imply affiliation with other manufacturers.
