Description

Definition

The Flange bearing 813762.1 is a specific type of mounted bearing and a genuine OEM component used in Claas balers. It integrates a standard ball or roller bearing within a housing that features a mounting flange. This design allows for easy and secure attachment to a flat surface, simplifying installation and maintenance.

Function and Role

This component serves the dual purpose of supporting rotating shafts while providing a fixed mounting point. Its key functions are:

• Shaft Support and Rotation: Its primary function is to support a rotating shaft, such as those driving the pick-up reel, plunger, or auger. It facilitates smooth rotation by minimizing friction and handling radial and/or axial loads.

• Secure Mounting and Positioning: The integral flange provides a stable and precise mounting solution. It ensures the bearing, and consequently the shaft it supports, remains correctly aligned within the machine’s frame, which is critical for proper mechanical operation and power transmission.
