A flange bearing is a mechanical component that integrates a flange with a bearing design. Its outer wheel has a flange structure, which facilitates axial positioning and eliminates the need for additional bearing housings. This product uses small outer diameter steel balls to reduce friction torque, improve rigidity and rotational accuracy, and achieves lightweight design and wiring space through a hollow shaft design. The motion plastic expert igus launched a new igubal flange bearing in July 2025, which improves replacement convenience. The standard size is ABEC-1 level, with simple structure and strong economy. By improving the retainer clearance design, optimizing the retainer strength, and adding guide grooves, the service life can be extended. The application scenarios cover industrial equipment, micro motor soft drives, hard disk motors, robots, medical devices, and other precision machinery fields. It has unique advantages especially in scenarios where the shaft end needs to be fixed on a plane.
