1pc 20mm Round/Square Compact Flanged Type Cast with Slit Shaft Support — dia6/8 Why you need this part Provides a compact, reliable mounting point for smalldiameter linear shafts used in automation and motion systems. The flanged cast housing gives a secure, vibrationresistant mounting surface to keep shafts aligned under load. The slit in the housing allows easy insertion and removal of shafts for fast assembly, maintenance, or replacement without disassembling the whole mechanism. Key features and benefits Quantity: 1pc — single unit for straightforward replacement or prototyping. Housing size: 20mm compact flanged type (round/square form factor indicated in the title). Cast construction: robust cast housing for stable support and durability in generalpurpose automation tasks. Slit design: cut/slit in the support allows quick shaft installation and removal, saving assembly time. Shaft compatibility: designed for shafts with diameters dia6 or dia8 (6 mm and 8 mm). Mounting: flanged type offers simple, repeatable mounting to panels, plates, or frames for consistent alignment. Functionality and compatibility Supports linear motion shafts of 6 mm and 8 mm diameter, stabilizing the shaft to maintain straight, smooth motion. Flanged mounting distributes load to the mounting surface and simplifies installation in compact assemblies. Compact 20mm form factor makes it suitable for tight spaces where larger supports would not fit. Applications and use cases 3D printers and desktop CNC: use as an end support or intermediate support for X/Y/Z shafts to keep axes straight and reduce wobble. Small automation equipment and pickandplace systems: secure shafts that guide linear stages, conveyors, or actuator linkages. DIY machines and robotics: ideal for hobby or prototyping projects that require a compact, flanged shaft support for 6 mm or 8 mm shafts. Quick installation and handling tips Position the flanged support on the mounting surface and fasten securely with appropriate screws for your mounting plate. Use the slit to slide the shaft into the support for quick assembly; verify smooth rotation or translation before finalizing alignment. Check alignment with mating supports or bearing blocks to ensure consistent linear motion. What's included 1pc 20mm round/square compact flanged type cast shaft support with slit, compatible with dia6/8 shafts. Suitable for engineers, hobbyists, and technicians needing a compact, easytoinstall flanged shaft support for smalldiameter linear motion systems.
