OT: Wide flanged bearings

Ron Hofer · Oct 18, 2017

Need help with a search term. I'm trying to find a source for small (1/4" ID or less, metric OK) flanged bearings where the flange extends considerably beyond the bearing itself, so that I can drill mounting holes in the flange itself. I suspect I just don't know the proper name for such an animal. Any ideas? Thanks.

Face mount pillow block? Flangettes? Two different animals for doing the same thing. They all come predrilled though, AFAIK.

Are you talking about a metal ball or roller bearing? Or a bushing style like an oilite or it's plastic equivalent?
Igus makes a 2-bolt flange type in a couple of different plastic compounds. I can't say I've ever seen anything
with a full diameter flange suitable for drilling...

Thanks, all
Searching "face mount pillow block" got me some nibbles. I didn't realize that pillow block included so many variants. But I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for (most everything available was too big, in all respects), so I took Iwananew10K's advice and made my own. I laser welded bearings to fender washers and all was good. The laser welds didn't compromise the bearings, so I got lucky. Thanks again.
