Product Overview: The UC 211 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 211 is a high-performance insert ball bearing featuring a 55mm bore diameter, 100mm outer diameter, and 55.6mm width. As a key component in our UC 200 Series, this bearing is designed for simple and effective mounting within various types of bearing housings, such as pillow blocks and flange units. It features a spherical outer surface that allows it to compensate for initial static misalignment within the housing, ensuring smooth operation. The primary method of securing it to the shaft is via two set screws, providing a firm and reliable grip for demanding applications.
As part of the versatile Insert Ball Bearings family, the UC 211 is engineered for reliability and longevity. It is pre-lubricated and sealed, making it a ready-to-install solution that minimizes maintenance requirements. Its robust construction makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial and agricultural machinery.
Key Features of the UC 211 Bearing
- Set Screw Locking: Features two grub screws positioned on the wide inner ring for secure and straightforward attachment to the shaft.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows for initial static misalignment when mounted in a compatible Bearing Housing, simplifying installation.
- Wide Inner Ring: Provides enhanced shaft support and stability, reducing the risk of shaft damage.
- Pre-Lubricated and Sealed: Arrives lubricated and sealed on both sides to protect against contaminants and retain grease, extending service life.
- High-Quality Steel Construction: Manufactured from premium bearing steel for excellent durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Interchangeable Design: Built to industry-standard dimensions, making it interchangeable with other major brands.
