The FWS60-U 4-bolt flanged bearing is a bearing unit used in numerous industrial sectors due to its robustness and ability to support high loads. This type of bearing is primarily made of cast iron, which gives the device high mechanical strength and durability, with an internal diameter of 60 mm. It features a flange with 4 bolt holes, ensuring solid installation on flat surfaces.

Technical specifications:

• Internal diameter : 60 mm
• Material : Cast iron
• Weight : 6.58 kg
• Number of bolts: 4
• Operating temperature : -30°C to +110°C
• Shaft fixing type : Set screws on inner ring
• Bolt spacing : 143 mm

Mechanical characteristics:

The cast iron material ensures shock resistance and the ability to withstand high radial and axial loads. Thanks to its construction, the bearing can operate in environments with variable temperatures. Set screws on the inner ring ensure the unit maintains its position on the shaft, reducing the risk of slippage during operation.

Mathematical formula:

One of the fundamental formulas for calculating the useful life of a bearing is based on the dynamic load and the number of rotations: L10=(CP)3L_{10} = \left( \frac{C}{P} \right)^3 $L$ 10 ​= $($ P C ​) 3 where:

• L10L_{10} $L$ 10 ​is
• CC $C$ is the dynamic load capacity,
• PP $P$ is the actual applied load.

Sectors of use:

The FWS60-U bearing is mainly used in industrial sectors such as:

• Transport systems
• Agricultural machinery
• Machine tools
• Movement systems

Assembly:

Assembly is relatively simple. After securing the flanged unit to the surface with the four bolts, place the shaft into the bearing and secure it with the set screws. It's important to ensure the bearing is properly aligned to avoid unnecessary stress during assembly.

Price:

The average price of this unit is around 194-317 euros depending on the variants and specific specifications, excluding VAT.
