Flanged sleeve Weba 160 mm model 02-06-0160-02, flange-mounted bushing for machine assemblies

Flanged sleeve Weba 160 mm model 02-06-0160-02 is a flange-mounted bushing designed for mechanical assemblies and industrial equipment. With a nominal diameter of 160 mm, this flanged sleeve provides axial positioning and secure fixation when a flange-mounted bearing or sleeve is required. It is intended to support shaft alignment and to reduce wear in rotating or sliding connections by creating a replaceable bearing surface between moving parts.

Advantages

The Weba flanged sleeve offers a simple and robust solution for bearing and guidance tasks in housings and supports. Its flange simplifies mounting and prevents axial displacement while the cylindrical bore provides consistent shaft guidance. The component is designed to be a replaceable wear element, which can reduce downtime and maintenance costs compared with machining bearing surfaces directly into housings. Compatibility with standard mounting patterns allows straightforward installation in many industrial assemblies.

Suitable for

• Flange-mounted bearing support in drives and gearboxes
• Shaft guidance in rotating or sliding connections
• Replacement wear sleeve in industrial housings and machine frames
• Applications requiring axial location combined with radial guidance

When it may not be suitable

This flanged sleeve is intended as a mechanical bushing and not as a sealed bearing unit; it does not include integrated seals, lubrication systems, or rolling elements. It may not be suitable where high-precision angular bearings, sealed units, or maintenance-free rolling-element bearings are required. For applications involving extreme contamination, pressurized fluids, or very high-speed rotary systems, additional sealing, lubrication or a different bearing type should be considered.

Key specifications

• Nominal inner diameter: 160 mm (bore for shaft guidance)
• Mounting type: flange-mounted with external flange for axial fixation
• Function: bushing / sleeve for axial positioning and radial guidance
• Typical installation environment: mechanical assemblies and industrial equipment housings
• Material characteristics: designed as a replaceable wear surface (material depends on manufacturer production)

How to use

Match the flanged sleeve bore to the shaft diameter and the flange bolt pattern to the mounting surface to ensure proper fit. Press or slide the sleeve into the housing bore, align the flange with the mounting face, and secure using appropriate fasteners through the flange holes. Ensure proper shaft clearance and check for concentricity with the mating shaft. Depending on the operating conditions, apply appropriate lubrication to the sleeve or shaft, and implement seals if the environment contains contaminants.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the shaft diameter and tolerance fit required for your application
• Verify flange dimensions and bolt pattern match the mounting surface
• Consider operating speed, load and environmental contamination to choose correct material and lubrication
• Check required axial location and whether integrated seals or bearings are needed instead

Usage recommendations

Use the Weba flanged sleeve as a replaceable bearing surface in housings where axial fixation and radial guidance are required. Maintain regular inspection intervals, ensure correct lubrication practices for sliding contacts, and protect the sleeve from heavy contamination using seals or covers when necessary.
