This is the genuine Zodiac replacement long CN flange (flasque CN long) for the XA iQ series robotic pool cleaners, supplied as a matched pair. The flange is a structural end-cap that seats on the wheel-axle assembly, maintaining precise lateral alignment of the drive wheel and protecting the internal bearing from pool water ingress and debris.<\/p>\n
The long CN flange closes the outboard face of the wheel hub, locking the axle in position and providing a bearing surface that absorbs the lateral loads generated during climbing and turning. Without an intact flange the axle can shift under load, causing uneven track tension, wheel wobble, and accelerated bearing wear.<\/p>\n
This part fits the full Zodiac XA iQ family, including the 20 XA iQ, 30 XA iQ, 40 XA iQ, XA 2010, XA 2030, XA 2045, XA 2095, XA 3010 iQ, XA 3030 iQ, XA 3095 iQ, XA 4010 iQ, XA 4030 iQ, XA 4045 iQ and XA 4095 iQ. Always verify against your robot’s exploded-view diagram before ordering if you are unsure which flange variant (long or short) applies to your specific wheel position.<\/p>\n
Replace the long CN flange when you observe lateral play in a drive wheel, a wheel that rocks or wobbles during normal operation, a cracked or deformed hub end-cap visible on inspection, or unusual grinding noise originating from the wheel assembly. Continued use with a damaged flange accelerates bearing failure and can ultimately cause a complete drivetrain seizure.<\/p>\n
Aftermarket flanges are frequently moulded from lower-grade polymers that creep or crack under the mechanical stress and chemical exposure typical of pool environments. A genuine Zodiac flange is manufactured to the original dimensional tolerances, ensuring correct bearing preload, watertight seating, and full compatibility with Zodiac’s warranty conditions.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
