Moline M3000 Even-Lok™ Flange Bearing

Moline M3000 Even-Lok™ Flange Bearing

Versatile, High-Performance Flange Units for Demanding Applications

The Moline M3000 Even-Lok™ Flange Bearing series delivers exceptional versatility, durability, and precision for industrial and agricultural machinery. Featuring Moline’s patented Even-Lok™ concentric locking system, these bearings provide a true 360-degree shaft grip—eliminating fretting, shaft distortion, and premature wear commonly seen with traditional set screw designs. The result is a secure, vibration-resistant connection that enhances performance and extends service life.

Housing Options for Flexible Installation

Pilot & 4-Bolt Styles for Accurate Alignment and Robust Support

The M3000 series is offered in both pilot and 4-bolt flange housings.

• Pilot housings provide precise alignment and compact mounting, making them ideal for tight installations or equipment requiring accurate shaft positioning.

• 4-bolt housings deliver maximum rigidity and strength, ensuring stable operation in heavy-duty and high-vibration environments.

Expansion and Non-Expansion Designs

Adaptable Solutions for Thermal Growth and Fixed Alignment

To accommodate a variety of operating conditions, Moline offers the M3000 in both expansion and non-expansion configurations:

• Expansion bearings allow controlled axial shaft movement, protecting machinery from stress caused by thermal expansion or contraction.

• Non-expansion bearings maintain fixed shaft positioning for precise alignment and consistent performance.

Seal Options for Different Environments

Double Lip and Labyrinth Seals for Targeted Protection

Users can choose between two sealing systems:

• Double Lip Seals – Ideal for everyday dust, moisture, and debris protection.

• Labyrinth Seals – Best for high-speed or high-temperature environments, blocking contaminants without increasing friction.

Precision Inserts and Rugged Construction

Reliable Performance with Easy Maintenance

Each M3000 bearing includes a precision deep-groove ball insert with hardened steel balls for smooth operation and efficient load handling. A relubrication fitting simplifies maintenance, extending service life. The cast iron housing ensures strength and durability under demanding operating conditions.
