Asahi Stainless Steel MUFL 002 Flange Unit – Eccentric Lock – Corrosion Resistant

The Asahi Stainless Steel MUFL 002 Two-Bolt Flange Unit with Eccentric Locking Collar is a robust and reliable bearing unit designed for demanding applications requiring corrosion resistance and secure shaft locking. Manufactured by Asahi Seiko Co., Ltd., a renowned Japanese bearing manufacturer, this unit combines a high-quality stainless steel bearing insert with a sturdy two-bolt flange housing, also made from stainless steel.

This flange unit is specifically engineered to be mounted on machine walls or frames using two bolts. The eccentric locking collar provides a simple yet effective method for securely attaching the bearing insert to the shaft, minimizing slippage and ensuring smooth operation. The stainless steel construction offers excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, making it ideal for use in environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, or food processing.  

What is an Asahi Stainless Steel MUFL 002 Two-Bolt Flange Unit?

This bearing unit comprises two main components:

1. Stainless Steel Bearing Insert: This is the rolling element bearing itself, made from high-grade stainless steel to provide smooth rotation and load-carrying capacity while resisting corrosion.
2. Stainless Steel Two-Bolt Flange Housing (MUFL): This housing is designed for easy mounting using two bolts. The stainless steel material matches the bearing insert for consistent corrosion resistance. The “MUFL” designation indicates a specific housing style within Asahi’s range.
3. Eccentric Locking Collar: This is a unique locking mechanism where the inner ring of the bearing has an eccentric (off-center) bore that mates with a stepped collar. When the collar is tightened with a setscrew, it creates a strong frictional grip on the shaft.

Applications:

Asahi Stainless Steel MUFL 002 Two-Bolt Flange Units are ideal for a wide range of applications where corrosion resistance and reliable performance are critical, including:

• Food and Beverage Processing: Packaging machinery, conveyors, and processing equipment where hygiene and resistance to cleaning agents are essential.
• Pharmaceutical and Medical Equipment: Applications requiring sterile environments and resistance to chemical sterilization.
• Chemical Processing: Equipment handling corrosive substances.
• Marine and Coastal Environments: Machinery exposed to saltwater and humidity.
• Textile Industry: Dyeing and finishing equipment.
• Agricultural Equipment: Machinery exposed to moisture and fertilizers.
• General Industrial Machinery: Where stainless steel offers a longer service life in demanding conditions.
