Product Overview: The UC 211 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 211 insert ball bearing is a robust and highly versatile component, widely recognized in industrial applications for its reliability and adaptability. As part of our extensive UC 200 Series Insert Ball Bearings, the UC 211 is specifically designed with a 55mm bore diameter, a 100mm outer diameter, and a width of 55.6mm. These bearings are characterized by their spherical outer ring, which allows them to be seated in a corresponding spherical housing bore, providing an initial self-aligning capability to accommodate misalignment.
The UC 211 bearing features an extended inner ring on both sides, typically equipped with grub screws (set screws) for secure shaft attachment. This design simplifies installation and removal, making it a preferred choice for various machinery where ease of maintenance is crucial. Our UC 211 bearings are manufactured to high industry standards, ensuring consistent performance and long service life in demanding operational environments. They are commonly integrated into bearing housings such as P 211 Pillow Blocks, F 211 Flange Units, or FL 211 Flange Units, forming a complete housed bearing unit.
Key Features of the UC 211 Bearing
- Spherical Outer Ring: Enables initial self-alignment within a suitable housing, compensating for minor shaft misalignment.
- Extended Inner Ring: Provides stable support and a larger contact area for shaft mounting.
- Grub Screw Locking: Features two set screws for positive and secure attachment to the shaft, preventing slippage.
- Lubrication Provisions: Typically includes a grease nipple for easy relubrication, extending bearing life.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-quality bearing steel to ensure durability and resistance to wear under various loads.
- Integral Sealing: Often comes with integral seals and flingers to protect against contaminants and retain lubricant, enhancing reliability.
