Usually large flange brackets
are expansive a 3 inch (UCF215-48) Bracket is worth $80. If you have right
equipment you can make it cheaper as $8.
First you measure you
bearing suppose it has 3” dia inside and 5” dia from outside.
Purchase a ½ inch
thick Steel Plate square shaped and 8” x 8” size and a hole of 4 inch dia in
center. Normally a gas cutting is required. It costs about $4.
Now you have to buy a
piece of steel pipe with a minimum thickness of ½ inch with an outer dia of 6
inch and an inner dia of 4-¾ or 4-⅞ inch. Remember the inner dia must be less
than the outer dia of bearing which is 5 inch here. It costs about $4.
Now using lathe
machine you should make the inner dia same as the outer dia of Bearing.
Now make two wholes on
sides if you want to tight the bearing with Bolts.
Now weld the pipe bush
on plate, before that you had to make 4 holes on each cornor of plate for
bolting purpose.
Now your Flange
Bracket is ready and you can put it where required.
