Self-Aligning Flange Bearing (Horizontal-17 mm Dia)

Overview

The KFL003 self-aligning flange bearing is a compact, precision-engineered pillow block bearing designed to support rotating shafts in constrained spaces. With a 17 mm bore, this bearing provides reliable guidance and smooth rotation for lead screws and drive shafts in 3D printers, CNC machines, and other motion control systems. Its self-aligning housing accommodates minor shaft misalignment, reducing stress and wear. The integrated grease fitting allows for easy lubrication, while the set screw locking mechanism ensures a secure shaft connection. This flange bearing is an excellent choice for Z-axis applications where space is limited but performance is critical.
