Product Overview: The UC 201 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 201 bearing is a highly popular component within our extensive UC 200 Series Insert Ball Bearings, part of the broader UC Series. Designed for secure and straightforward mounting, this bearing features a spherical outer ring that allows it to self-align within compatible Bearing Housings, such as Pillow Block Bearings and Flange Unit Bearings. Its extended inner ring, typically equipped with set screws, ensures a robust and positive fit onto the shaft, preventing slippage even under vibrating or reversing loads.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our UC 201 bearings meet stringent industry standards for reliability and longevity. These bearings are pre-lubricated and often sealed for life, making them a low-maintenance solution ideal for a wide array of general industrial applications. Their design facilitates easy installation and replacement, contributing to reduced downtime and increased operational efficiency.
