Flanged Units Mounting

Flanged Units Mounting Guide

Applicable for: SA / HC / SB / UC Bearing Inserts

1. Mounting the Housing

   • Slide the flange unit onto the shaft.

   • Align the housing with the fixing holes in the adjacent construction.

2. Securing the Housing

   • Bolt the flange housing to the adjacent construction using the appropriate fixing screws.

   • If multiple housing units support the same shaft:

     1. Initially, tighten the screws finger-tight.

     2. Align the shaft carefully to ensure it is straight.

     3. Finally, tighten the screws securely to the recommended torque.

3. Fitting the Eccentric Locking Collar

   • Slide the eccentric locking collar onto the inner ring of the bearing.

   • Rotate the collar by hand, preferably in the direction of shaft rotation, to ensure proper seating.

   • Position the collar firmly against the shaft using a drift or similar tool.

   • Tap lightly with a hammer, applying one or two light blows to lock the collar in place.

4. Tightening Grub Screws (if applicable)

   • For bearings with grub screws in the inner ring, first tighten both screws by hand.

   • Using a torque wrench, tighten the grub screws alternately to avoid uneven stress.

   • Continue alternating until the recommended tightening torque is reached (see table below).
