Product Overview: The UC 212 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 212 is a robust and highly reliable insert ball bearing with a 60mm bore, 110mm outer diameter, and 65.1mm width. As a key component in our UC 200 Series, this bearing is specifically designed for easy installation into various types of bearing housings, such as pillow blocks and flange units. The UC 212 features a spherical outer surface that allows it to accommodate initial static misalignment when mounted, ensuring smooth operation and extending the life of your machinery. Its dependable set screw locking mechanism provides a secure and straightforward method for fastening the bearing onto the shaft.
Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel, the UC 212 is pre-lubricated and sealed, making it a low-maintenance solution for a wide range of industrial and agricultural applications. It is an integral part of our comprehensive range of Insert Ball Bearings, offering a simple yet effective solution for mounted bearing needs.
Key Features of the UC 212 Bearing
- Set Screw Locking: Two set screws in the extended inner ring ensure a strong, positive lock on the shaft, preventing slippage under load.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows for initial static misalignment when paired with a corresponding housing, simplifying assembly and reducing stress on the bearing.
- Pre-Lubricated and Sealed: Arrives ready for installation with factory-filled grease and features integral seals to protect against contaminants and retain lubricant.
- Extended Inner Ring: Provides greater shaft support and stability, distributing loads more effectively.
- High-Quality Construction: Made from premium bearing steel for enhanced durability, wear resistance, and a long service life.
- Interchangeable Design: Built to industry-standard dimensions, making it a direct replacement for equivalent bearings from other manufacturers.
