The 3 Bolt Flange Bearing Cover Heavyweight is a fixed machine guard designed to shield three-bolt flange bearings from contact hazards and outside contaminants. Built for heavier-duty applications, this bearing cover mounts directly over the bearing housing using its three-bolt pattern, providing a secure, low-maintenance guard that holds up in demanding industrial environments. If your equipment uses a four-bolt flange instead, see our 4 Bolt Flange Bearing Cover Lightweight for a comparable lighter-duty option.

FAQs
What is a 3 Bolt Flange Bearing Cover used for?
A 3 Bolt Flange Bearing Cover is installed over a three-bolt flange bearing to guard rotating components from worker contact and to help keep dirt, dust, and debris out of the bearing housing, supporting both safety compliance and bearing longevity.
How do I know if I need the heavyweight version?
The heavyweight version is built with thicker material for equipment exposed to higher impact, heavier loads, or harsher operating conditions. If your current cover is cracking, warping, or wearing out quickly, upgrading to a heavyweight 3 Bolt Flange Bearing Cover can extend service life.
How is a 3 Bolt Flange Bearing Cover installed?
Installation involves aligning the cover's three mounting holes with the corresponding bolt pattern on the bearing housing, then securing it with bolts sized to your flange. Always confirm bolt spacing and bearing diameter before ordering to ensure a proper, snug fit.
