SAPF200 & SAPFT200 Stamped Steel 3-Bolt Flange Bearing Units
SAPF200 and SAPFT200 are stamped-steel flange units built around eccentric locking. They are aimed at light-duty face-mounted applications and cover a broader published shaft range than the two-bolt SBPFL/SAPFL family, extending from 12 to 60 mm.
The mounting pattern also deserves attention: the catalogue identifies the family as a three-bolt stamped flange, while PF208-212 housings use four bolt holes. That detail means a buyer should work from the exact housing size and drawing instead of assuming every part in the series has an identical hole count.
For a wider housing comparison, browse the bearings range before finalising the mounting style.
Eccentric locking is the defining feature of SAPF/SAPFT
Eccentric shaft retention
The insert uses an eccentric locking arrangement throughout this product family.
Stamped flange housing
Pressed steel keeps the face-mounted unit light relative to cast-iron alternatives.
12-60 mm published shaft range
The family extends into larger shaft sizes than the two-bolt oval stamped series.
Bolt-hole count changes on larger PF sizes
PF208-212 housings are shown with four bolt holes, so the exact size must be checked against the machine face.
Do not assume the same bolt pattern across every size
Use the product drawing as the final dimensional authority. The points below are practical filters that help narrow the correct model before a full drawing comparison.
Do not copy a mounting template from a smaller model without checking the catalogue drawing.
The collar needs space for installation and later release.
A correct bore does not guarantee that the flange hole pattern fits the existing plate.
Larger stamped housings still rely on a flat, sufficiently stiff mounting face.

Where a wider stamped-flange range is useful
These are application patterns where the housing concept is commonly considered. Final suitability still depends on load, speed, alignment, environment and the machine designer’s requirements.
Agricultural and light industrial panels
Face mounting keeps the bearing close to fabricated structures while eccentric locking follows the machine’s shaft-retention standard.
Conveyor and handling equipment
The broader 12-60 mm range supports small through medium shaft stations on light frames.
Fan and ventilation assemblies
Stamped flange units can reduce housing bulk on end plates and sheet-metal panels.
OEM equipment using eccentric inserts
The family is a natural fit where purchasing and maintenance are already standardised on eccentric locking.
Choosing SAPF/SAPFT rather than the setscrew version
SAPF/SAPFT is the eccentric-lock version of this stamped three-bolt/large-PF flange concept. SBPF/SBPFT is the direct comparison when setscrew locking is required. For a smaller two-bolt oval flange, compare SAPFL/SBPFL instead.
Service access for the eccentric collar
Knowing whether the exact housing uses three or four bolt holes avoids surprises after the old unit is removed.
Do not trap the locking side behind an unremovable guard or bracket.
Pressed steel should lie flat against the supporting face before bolt tightening.
The shaft lock is different from SBPF/SBPFT even when the housings look closely related.
