Product Overview:

The PF208 RICH is a heavy-duty circular flange housing manufactured from high-strength pressed steel. Specifically engineered to accommodate 208 series insert bearings, typically featuring a 40 mm bore, this housing is a critical component for agricultural and industrial machinery. The unit is composed of two symmetrical stamped steel plates that interlock to form a stable mounting cradle. Its round flange design with a 119 mm bolt circle ensures uniform load distribution across the mounting surface, making it exceptionally reliable for radial load applications. The internal profile is spherically contoured, allowing the inserted bearing to self-align and effectively compensate for shaft deflections or assembly misalignments. This model is a direct replacement for numerous original equipment parts from major agricultural brands like John Deere, Case, and Claas, offering a lightweight and cost-effective alternative to cast iron housings without compromising structural integrity.

Key Performance Advantages:

• Broad Compatibility: Interchanges with a wide range of OE part numbers for major agricultural equipment manufacturers.
• Balanced Radial Support: The circular mounting pattern provides even stress distribution, reducing the risk of fatigue on the mounting surface.
• Self-Alignment Support: Facilitates the swiveling motion of spherical insert bearings to ensure smooth shaft rotation and reduced internal friction.
• Slim Profile: The 3.5 mm flange thickness allows for installation in narrow machinery compartments where space is a priority.
