Flange bearings are one of the most important types of bearings used in machinery. They are used to support and guide rotating shafts, and they play a vital role in the performance and longevity of your machine.
In this guide, we will discuss everything you need to know about flange bearings, including:
By the end of this guide, you will have a solid understanding of flange bearings and how to use them effectively in your machinery.
Flange bearings are a type of rolling-element bearing that consists of an inner ring, an outer ring, and a set of rolling elements (usually balls or rollers). The inner ring is attached to the shaft, and the outer ring is attached to the housing. The rolling elements are located between the inner and outer rings, and they allow the shaft to rotate smoothly.
Flange bearings are used in a wide variety of applications, including:
There are many different types of flange bearings available, each with its own unique advantages and disadvantages. The most common types of flange bearings include:
When choosing flange bearings for your application, you need to consider the following factors:
Once you have considered these factors, you can use a bearing selection guide to help you choose the right flange bearings for your application.
Flange bearings are relatively easy to install and maintain. However, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully.

Type | Advantages | Disadvantages |
---|---|---|
Ball bearing | Inexpensive, easy to maintain, good performance | Not as durable as roller bearings |
Roller bearing | More robust than ball bearings, can handle heavier loads | More expensive, more difficult to maintain |
Needle bearing | Smallest type of flange bearing, used in applications where space is limited | Not as durable as ball bearings or roller bearings |
Ceramic bearing | Very resistant to wear and corrosion, can operate at high speeds | More expensive than other types of flange bearings |
Application | Type of Flange Bearing |
---|---|
Electric motors | Ball bearings, roller bearings |
Pumps | Ball bearings, roller bearings |
Compressors | Roller bearings, needle bearings |
Gearboxes | Ball bearings, roller bearings |
Conveyors | Ball bearings, roller bearings |
Robots | Ball bearings, roller bearings, needle bearings |
Problem | Cause | Solution |
---|---|---|
Noise | Improper installation, worn or damaged bearings, misalignment | Re-install the bearings, replace the bearings, align the bearings |
Vibration | Unbalanced load, misalignment, worn or damaged bearings | Balance the load, align the bearings, replace the bearings |
Heat | Excessive load, high speed, insufficient lubrication | Reduce the load, reduce the speed, lubricate the bearings |
