Product Overview: The UC 208 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 208 bearing is a high-performance insert ball bearing designed for applications requiring robust and reliable rotational support within bearing housings, such as pillow blocks and flange units. As part of our comprehensive UC 200 Series Insert Ball Bearings, the UC 208 features a spherical outer ring that allows for initial misalignment compensation, ensuring smooth operation and extended service life even when perfect alignment cannot be achieved. With standard dimensions of 40mm bore diameter, 80mm outer diameter, and 49.2mm overall thickness, this bearing is engineered to meet industrial standards for performance and durability.
These bearings are particularly valued for their ease of mounting and robust construction, making them a cornerstone in various industrial machinery. Our commitment as a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts means we provide UC 208 bearings that are manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, ensuring excellent wear resistance and long-term reliability in demanding environments.
