Flanges

Flanges provide a simple means of mounting Cooper split roller bearings against a vertical or horizontal face. These housings embody standard swivel cartridges which may be assembled with expansion (EX) or fixed (GR) bearings.

Where shafts terminate at the bearings, cartridge ends may be fitted with blanking plates or in the case of expansion bearings to 90mm, blanking plates with thrust bearings for one way positioning.

The top halves of both flange and cartridge can be lifted for inspection of rolling surfaces.

Standard cast iron flanges normally have drilled bolt holes with outer surface as cast. Fitting flat washers under the bolt heads is recommended. Cast steel flanges normally have drilled holes and are spot faced.

For vertical shafts, bearings and vertical shaft may require modified construction, special seals and lubrication.

Maximum load on C.I. flanges 0.26 Cor or 0.25 Ca. Higher loads at slow speeds and shock conditions require steel or nodular iron flanges and high tensile bolts. The support plate must be adequate. Please consult our technical department.
