Product Overview: The UC 206 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 206 bearing is a highly popular and versatile component within our UC 200 Series Insert Ball Bearings. Known for its robust design and adaptability, the UC 206 features a 30 mm bore diameter, 62 mm outer diameter, and a thickness of 38.1 mm. These bearings are specifically designed for applications where they are mounted into a bearing housing (such as Pillow Block or Flange Units) to create a complete mounted bearing unit. Its spherical outer ring allows for initial misalignment compensation, making installation simpler and reducing stress on the shaft and housing in various industrial settings.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure our UC 206 bearings meet rigorous industry standards, providing reliable performance and longevity even in demanding environments. This type of bearing is essential for machinery requiring easy shaft mounting, dependable rotation, and protection from contaminants. Explore our full range of UC Series bearings and compatible housings to find the perfect solution for your industrial needs.
Features of the UC 206 Bearing
- Spherical Outer Ring: Designed to fit into a correspondingly spherical housing bore, allowing for initial shaft misalignment.
- Wide Inner Ring: Provides stable support for the shaft and enhanced gripping capability.
- Set Screw Locking Mechanism: Enables quick and secure attachment to the shaft, simplifying installation.
- Pre-lubricated and Sealed: Comes with seals to protect against contaminants and is pre-filled with grease for immediate use and reduced maintenance.
- Relubrication Feature: Often equipped with a grease fitting for periodic relubrication, extending service life.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel for excellent durability and wear resistance.
- Standardized Dimensions: Conforms to industry standards, ensuring interchangeability and ease of replacement.
Applications of UC 206 Bearings
