Product Overview: The UC 213 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 213 is a robust and widely used insert ball bearing, a key component in our UC 200 Series. With principal dimensions of 65mm bore diameter, 120mm outer diameter, and 71.4mm width, this bearing is engineered for reliability and ease of use. It features an extended inner ring with two set screws for secure locking onto the shaft, preventing slippage during operation. The spherical outer surface of the bearing is designed to fit into a corresponding housing, allowing it to compensate for initial static misalignment of the shaft.
As a crucial part of our Insert Ball Bearings collection, the UC 213 is designed to be housed within various types of bearing units, such as pillow blocks, flange units, and take-up units. This versatility makes it an indispensable component for a multitude of industrial and agricultural applications. Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel and equipped with effective seals, the UC 213 offers extended service life by retaining lubricant and protecting against contaminants.
Key Features of the UC 213 Bearing
- Set Screw Locking: Features two set screws on the extended inner ring for simple, yet secure, fastening to the shaft.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows for initial misalignment when mounted in a housing, reducing stress on the bearing and shaft.
- High-Quality Seals: Equipped with integral seals on both sides to effectively retain grease and prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture.
- Relubrication Capability: Includes a lubrication groove and hole on the outer ring to facilitate easy maintenance and extend bearing life.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-carbon chromium bearing steel for high load capacity and long-term durability.
- Extended Inner Ring: Provides greater shaft support and stability, reducing the potential for shaft tilting.
