The PFL208 RICH is a robust, two-bolt oval flange housing expertly stamped from high-strength pressed steel. Engineered to accommodate 208 series insert bearings (typically featuring a 40 mm bore), this housing provides a lightweight and space-efficient alternative to traditional cast iron units. The two-piece construction allows for easy assembly and maintenance, securely clamping the bearing while maintaining a slim profile. The internal seat of the housing is spherically contoured, enabling the inserted bearing to self-align and successfully compensate for minor shaft deflections or mounting inaccuracies. Weighing only 0.41 kg, the PFL208 is widely utilized in medium-duty conveyors, agricultural equipment, and specialized industrial fans where a high strength-to-weight ratio is essential for performance and ease of installation.
Key Performance Advantages:
Compact Oval Configuration: The two-bolt mounting pattern is ideal for restricted spaces where a square flange would be too large.
Self-Alignment Support: Supports the swiveling motion of spherical insert bearings to ensure smooth shaft rotation and reduce internal stress.
Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-tensile steel with a protective finish for reliable service in varied industrial environments.
Simplified Maintenance: The interlocking two-piece design allows for rapid bearing inspection and replacement.
Transparency Note: This housing is manufactured under the RICH brand. The code PFL208 is used for identification purposes and does not imply affiliation with other manufacturers.
