Features

Link-Belt flex-block bearings are alignable and self-lubricating. Because the bearing material wears gradually under operation, sudden breakdowns and costly maintenance are minimized. The standard bearing insert materials of oil impregnated porous sintered bronze, or self-lubricating graphite are widely used for the extreme applications of modern industry.

Bearing Components

Heart of the Flex-block bearing is the alignable insert into which is pressed a self-lubricating bearing. The component has a machined spherical surface that is alignable in the housing.

Two types of bearings are available:

• Sintered bronze sleeve, oil impregnated, for operating temperatures to 200°F (93°C).
• Self-lubricating carbon-graphite sleeve, for temperatures to 700°F (371°C).

One-piece Cast Iron Housings

Compact one-piece cast iron housings provide strength and superior rigidity. All units are designed with standard mounting dimensions and have finished mounting surfaces for proper installation stability. Pillow blocks have slotted bolt holes with ample space provided for drilling dowel pin holes. Flanged units have drilled mounting holes.
