Description
2 7/16 Inch Flange Bearing for 4,000–10,000 Gallon Tanks
The 2 7/16 Inch Flange Bearing is a heavy-duty replacement component engineered to support large agitation shafts in 4,000–10,000 gallon sealcoat tanks. Designed for professional, high-production operations, this bearing provides smooth, reliable shaft rotation while minimizing vibration, wear, and mechanical stress in large-capacity tank systems.
This flange bearing is intended for contractors handling commercial and municipal sealcoating projects where large material volumes demand robust, dependable components. Proper bearing support plays a critical role in maintaining consistent agitation, protecting drive shafts, and reducing unplanned downtime—helping crews stay on schedule during demanding production cycles.
Large sealcoat tanks place significant load and torque on shaft assemblies. Worn or damaged bearings can result in vibration, uneven material mixing, increased wear on related components, and premature system failure. Replacing worn bearings with a correctly sized 2 7/16” flange bearing helps preserve shaft alignment and ensures smooth, balanced operation across high-volume applications.
Precision 2 7/16” Flange for Large Tank Shafts
This bearing features a 2 7/16-inch bore with a flanged housing designed to mount securely to standard large tank agitation systems. The flange design provides stable support and evenly distributes load across the mounting surface, reducing localized stress on the shaft and surrounding hardware.
Accurate sizing and proper installation are essential for maintaining smooth rotation and balanced agitation—especially in tanks handling thousands of gallons of sealcoat material.
Durable Construction for Heavy-Duty Use
Constructed from industrial-grade, heavy-duty materials, this flange bearing is built to withstand the high torque, vibration, and continuous operation common in large-scale sealcoating systems. Its robust design supports extended service life, reducing the frequency of maintenance and replacement.
Built for High-Volume Production Tanks
Specifically designed for 4,000–10,000 gallon sealcoat tanks, this bearing supports contractors operating multi-acre commercial lots, municipal roadways, and other large-scale pavement maintenance projects. Installing a properly sized flange bearing improves system reliability and helps ensure uninterrupted agitation throughout the sealcoating season.

FAQ
Is this bearing compatible with all large tanks?
It is designed for standard 2 7/16” shaft flange mounts used on 4,000–10,000 gallon sealcoat tanks. Always verify measurements before ordering.
Why should a flange bearing be replaced?
Worn bearings can cause vibration, uneven mixing, and premature shaft wear. Replacing them restores smooth, reliable agitation.
Can this bearing handle continuous operation?
Yes. It is built for high-volume, long-duration use in professional sealcoating applications.
How often should this bearing be inspected?
Seasonal inspection and routine maintenance are recommended to ensure optimal performance and service life.
Use Case Example
A contractor preparing multiple 6,000-gallon tanks for a municipal sealcoating project replaces worn flange bearings during preseason maintenance. With new 2 7/16” flange bearings installed, shaft rotation is smooth, agitation remains consistent, and the crew completes the multi-site project without downtime.
