Product Overview: The UK 213 Insert Ball Bearing
The UK 213 is a high-performance insert ball bearing designed for demanding industrial applications requiring robust and reliable shaft support. As a key component in our UK Series of Insert Ball Bearings, it features a tapered bore and is mounted onto a 60mm shaft using a corresponding adapter sleeve (H 2313). With an outer diameter of 140mm and a width of 82.6mm, this bearing is built to handle significant loads. Its spherical outer surface allows it to be mounted in various types of bearing housings, where it can accommodate initial static misalignment, ensuring smooth operation and extending the life of the machinery.
Key Features of the UK 213 Bearing
- Tapered Bore Design: Provides a strong, concentric grip on the shaft when used with an adapter sleeve, preventing slippage under heavy loads.
- Adapter Sleeve Mounting: Enables easy and secure installation and removal on commercial-grade shafts without the need for special shaft shoulders or machining.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows the bearing to pivot within the housing, compensating for initial static misalignment between the shaft and the housing structure.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel for superior durability, wear resistance, and performance in harsh environments.
- Enhanced Sealing: Typically equipped with effective seals and flingers to protect against contaminants and retain lubrication, ensuring a long service life.
- Versatile Housing Compatibility: Designed to fit a wide range of standard pillow block (P 200 Series) and flange (F 200 Series) bearing housings.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for use in harvesters, conveyors, and tillage equipment where robust performance and misalignment tolerance are crucial.
- Conveyor Systems: Provides reliable support for rollers and pulleys in material handling and logistics operations.
- Construction Equipment: Used in mixers, screeners, and other machinery exposed to heavy loads and contaminated environments.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Ensures stable and secure shaft mounting in air handling units, reducing vibration and noise.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Suitable for machinery where reliable operation and resistance to contamination are necessary.
- Mining and Quarrying: Capable of withstanding the harsh conditions found in aggregate processing and mining equipment.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Offers dependable rotational support for rollers and shafts in high-speed manufacturing processes.
Benefits of Using the UK 213 Bearing
- Secure and Reliable Shaft Locking: The adapter sleeve creates a powerful 360-degree grip, superior to set screw types in high-load or high-vibration applications.
- Simplified Installation: Adapter sleeve mounting is straightforward and allows for placement anywhere on a smooth shaft, reducing assembly time.
- Extended Machinery Life: By accommodating misalignment, the bearing reduces stress on the shaft and other components, minimizing wear and preventing premature failure.
- Reduced Maintenance Requirements: The durable construction and effective sealing lead to longer lubrication intervals and less frequent replacement.
- Operational Versatility: The ability to be paired with various housing styles makes it a flexible solution for numerous machine designs.
- Improved Performance: The firm, concentric fit ensures smoother rotation, less vibration, and more efficient power transmission.
