Product Overview: The UC 205 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 205 insert ball bearing is a vital component in many industrial applications, part of our comprehensive UC 200 Series and overall UC Series Insert Ball Bearings. Designed with a spherical outer ring, this bearing is specifically engineered to fit into various types of bearing housings, such as Pillow Block, Flange, and Take-up units, forming a complete mounted bearing unit. With a bore diameter of 25 mm, an outer diameter of 52 mm, and a thickness of 34.1 mm, the UC 205 is designed for robust performance and ease of installation. Its built-in alignment compensation capability allows it to handle initial misalignment, preventing undue stress on the shaft and housing. Pre-lubricated and often sealed, these bearings are ready for immediate use and provide reliable, long-lasting operation in challenging environments. We supply high-quality insert ball bearings that meet industry standards, ensuring smooth operation and reduced maintenance for your machinery.
Key Features of the UC 205 Bearing
- Integrated Design: A self-contained unit ready for mounting into a housing, simplifying installation and replacement.
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical outer ring allows the bearing to compensate for initial angular misalignment between the shaft and housing, extending service life.
- Wide Inner Ring: Provides stable support for the shaft and is typically secured with set screws or an eccentric locking collar for secure attachment.
- Sealed for Protection: Often equipped with contact seals and flingers to protect against contaminants and retain lubricant, ensuring durability in harsh environments.
- Pre-Lubricated: Comes factory-lubricated, reducing the need for immediate maintenance and ensuring consistent performance from the start.
- High-Quality Construction: Manufactured from durable bearing steel for excellent wear resistance, high load capacity, and long-term reliability.
Common Applications of UC 205 Bearings
- Conveyor Systems: Widely used in various conveyor belts for smooth material handling, accommodating shaft deflections and varying load conditions.
- Agricultural Machinery: Essential in farm equipment such as harvesters, planters, and tillage machines, enduring dusty, moist, and demanding operational conditions.
- Textile Machinery: Provides reliable support for rollers and spindles in textile processing, where rotational accuracy and adaptability are crucial.
- Food Processing Equipment: Employed in machinery requiring robust and hygienic rotational support, often with specific sealing arrangements to prevent contamination.
- Packaging Machinery: Ensures efficient and smooth operation of components in automated packaging lines, contributing to consistent production speeds.
