Product Overview: The SUC 207 Stainless Steel Insert Bearing
The SUC 207 is a high-performance stainless steel insert bearing, featuring a 35mm bore diameter, 72mm outer diameter, and 42.9mm width. As a key component in our UC 200 Series, this bearing is specifically designed for applications requiring exceptional corrosion resistance and hygiene. Part of the broader Insert Ball Bearings category, the SUC 207 is manufactured entirely from stainless steel, making it the ideal choice for environments exposed to moisture, chemicals, and frequent washdowns.
Its spherical outer ring allows for initial static misalignment when installed in a compatible housing, such as a P 207 pillow block or an F 207 flange unit. The bearing is equipped with a set screw locking mechanism, enabling a simple and secure attachment to the shaft. Pre-lubricated with food-grade grease and sealed on both sides, the SUC 207 is ready for immediate installation and is designed for long, maintenance-free operation.
Key Features of the SUC 207 Bearing
- Full Stainless Steel Construction: Offers maximum protection against rust and corrosion in harsh operating conditions.
- Set Screw Locking: Features two set screws in the inner ring for easy and firm mounting onto the shaft.
- Spherical Outer Surface: Allows the bearing to pivot within its housing, compensating for initial shaft misalignment.
- Pre-Lubricated & Sealed: Supplied ready-to-use with food-grade grease and equipped with seals to retain lubricant and prevent contamination.
- Wide Inner Ring: Provides excellent shaft support and stability, reducing the risk of shaft damage.
- Interchangeable Design: Built to industry-standard dimensions for easy replacement and compatibility with various housing types.
Common Applications
- Food and Beverage Processing: Widely used in machinery for preparation, processing, and packaging where hygiene and washdowns are common.
