Which of the following describes a flange bearing?

A bearing with a mounting flange that allows perpendicular mounting to a surface A bearing without mounting A sealed ball bearing A needle roller in a cage

Correct Answer:

A bearing with a mounting flange that allows perpendicular mounting to a surface

Explanation:

A flange bearing combines a bearing with a mounting flange so you can bolt the unit directly to a frame, keeping the shaft axis perpendicular to the mounting surface. This built‑in flange gives a stable, repeatable way to align and secure the bearing, which is essential for maintaining accurate shaft alignment and handling radial loads while making installation and maintenance easier. You’ll see flange bearings used where a roller or shaft needs solid, straightforward mounting to a chassis or machine frame. The other descriptions describe different ideas—no mounting feature, a sealed type, or a different rolling element arrangement—none of which capture the defining flange that enables such mounting.
