Product Overview: The SUC 205 Stainless Steel Insert Bearing
The SUC 205 is a high-performance stainless steel insert bearing featuring a 25mm bore diameter, 52mm outer diameter, and 34.1mm width. As a key component in our UC 200 Series and the broader Insert Ball Bearings category, this bearing is specifically designed for applications requiring exceptional corrosion resistance and durability. Its stainless steel construction makes it the ideal choice for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, and frequent washdowns, such as in the food and beverage or pharmaceutical industries.
The SUC 205 is engineered to be mounted within a compatible bearing housing, such as a P 205 pillow block or an F 205 flange unit. It features a spherical outer ring that allows it to accommodate initial static misalignment, simplifying installation and reducing stress on the shaft. The inner ring is extended on both sides and includes two set screws for securely locking the bearing onto the shaft, ensuring reliable performance under various operating conditions.
Key Features of the SUC 205
- Stainless Steel Construction: Offers superior resistance to rust and corrosion in wet or chemical-laden environments.
- Set Screw Locking: Two set screws on the extended inner ring provide a simple and effective method for securing the bearing to the shaft.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Compensates for initial static misalignment when mounted in a housing, ensuring proper function and extending bearing life.
- Pre-Lubricated and Sealed: Comes factory-lubricated with food-grade grease and equipped with seals to protect against contamination and retain lubricant.
- Interchangeable Design: Manufactured to standard dimensions, making it a direct replacement for other 205 series insert bearings.
- Enhanced Durability: Built to withstand demanding operational conditions, providing a long and reliable service life.
Common Applications
- Food and Beverage Processing: Ideal for machinery that undergoes frequent cleaning and is exposed to moisture and food acids.
- Pharmaceutical and Medical Equipment: Used where hygiene and resistance to sterilization chemicals are critical.
- Agricultural Machinery: Performs reliably in equipment exposed to dirt, moisture, and fertilizers.
- Conveyor Systems: Essential for conveyors in washdown areas or outdoor environments.
- Marine Applications: Excellent resistance to saltwater corrosion makes it suitable for marine equipment.
- Chemical Processing Plants: Withstands exposure to various corrosive substances found in chemical manufacturing.
- Packaging Machinery: Ensures clean and reliable operation in automated packaging lines.
