Product Overview: The UC 214 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 214 is a high-performance insert ball bearing featuring a 70mm bore diameter, 125mm outer diameter, and a 74.6mm width. As a key component in our UC 200 Series, this bearing is designed for simple and effective mounting onto standard shafts. It is part of the broader Insert Ball Bearings category, which are engineered to be mounted within a bearing housing, such as a pillow block or flange unit. The UC 214 is equipped with two set screws in the extended inner ring, allowing for a secure and straightforward lock onto the shaft. Its spherical outer surface is designed to accommodate initial static misalignment when paired with a corresponding housing, making it a versatile solution for a wide range of industrial applications.
Key Features of the UC 214 Bearing
- Set Screw Locking: Features two grub screws positioned 120 degrees apart for secure and easy fastening to the shaft.
- Spherical Outer Ring: The convex outer surface allows the bearing to align itself within a housing, compensating for initial shaft misalignment.
- Extended Inner Ring: Provides enhanced shaft support and stability, reducing the risk of tilting or wobble.
- Durable Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel for excellent durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Pre-Lubricated and Sealed: Comes pre-filled with grease and equipped with seals on both sides to retain lubricant and protect against contaminants, extending service life.
- Interchangeability: Designed to industry-standard dimensions, ensuring it can be used as a replacement for equivalent bearings from other manufacturers.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Widely used in equipment like combines, balers, seeders, and tillage implements where reliability in harsh conditions is crucial.
- Conveyor Systems: Ideal for conveyor rollers and drive systems in manufacturing, distribution, and mining.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Suitable for use in processing and packaging equipment where reliable operation is essential.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides robust support for shafts in air handling units and ventilation systems.
