A flange bearing is a type of mounted bearing in which the mounted shaft runs perpendicular to the mounting surface and the center line of the mounting holes. This is in contrast to a pillow block bearing, in which the mounted shaft runs parallel to the mounting surface. Flange bearings consist of a flanged housing and an insert bearing.Mounted Bearings Catalog (Pillow Blocks, Flanges, Take Up Units, Tapped Base Housings and Bearing Inserts) AST Bearings' comprehensive mounted bearings catalog contains detailed specifications and 3D CAD models for 304 different mounted bearing products in 7 categories.
