How to Install Flange Mount Bearing?
2
Flange mount bearing avails you the support for a
shaft that runs perpendicular to the
bearing'smounting surface. It is one of the most
economical ways to handle a given level of speed
and load capacity. Installing the Flange Bearing
can be tricky because of the thin aluminum outer
shell but not too much.
3
There are 2 basic procedures that can be followed
to install the Flange mount bearing. Each method
come with a challenge and one must be considered
and be careful at the same time. Find the right
process that suits best with your conditions and
capabilities and you will finally get the the
best result out of it.
4
Machine the housing for a slip fit, apply
adhesive and slip the bearing into the housing.
Make sure to allow ample amount of time for the
adhesive to cure as specified by the adhesive
manufacturer.
5
Caution Do not allow any of the adhesive to
touch the bearing liner, otherwise it will harden
and interfere with the proper running clearance
for the bearing.
6
As specified in the PBC Linear catalog, machine
the housing bore to the recommended press fit
tolerance. Freeze the bearings at 0F (-17.75C)
for 30-45 minutes. Now, using gloves, remove the
bearings from the freezer and slip them into the
housing. As they quickly heat to room
temperature, full contact between the bearing and
the housing will be achieved.
7
The greatest advantage to this technique over
traditional pressing is greater accuracy in
alignment. Caution PBC Linear does NOT recommend
a press fit due to misaligment and shearing of
material either manually with hammer or mallet or
with the aid of an arbor press.

Mounting Instructions
PBC Linear wheels use concentric and eccentric
bushings to provide stable and adjustable
mounting configurations. Fixed wheel assemblies
provide primary engagement to the rail and
bushings mount on the centerline of the bearing.
9
Adjustable wheel assemblies are mounted with
eccentric bushings to allow adjustability and
preloading.V-Guide systems use a pair of fixed
guide wheels in combination with a variable
number of adjustable guide wheels to ensure both
stability and adjustability.
10
The location of fixed or adjustable wheel
assemblies is dependent on the location of the
rails and direction of loads. While rails are
external, fixed wheel assemblies will be mounted
on the bottom but when rails are internal, fixed
wheel assemblies will be mounted on top. The
location of the adjustable or eccentric wheel
assembly will always be dependent on the rail's
location be it inside or outside of the wheel
carriage.

Flange mount bearing as a device is unmatched in
the industry as they are available in any of the
locking devices as screw locking system,
eccentric locking collars, concentric clamp
locking system and our patented tight grip
adapter mounted bearing. To stabilize and support
the shaft, flange-mount bearing is mounted in one
of three flange forms which is Four-bolt,
Three-bolt and Two-bolt flange-mount bearing.
