Product Overview: The UC 215 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 215 bearing is a robust and highly efficient component within our extensive UC 200 Series and overall UC Series of Insert Ball Bearings. Also commonly referred to as a Y-bearing, the UC 215 is specifically designed for integration into various types of bearing housings, providing a pre-lubricated, sealed, and ready-to-mount solution for a wide range of industrial applications. With precise dimensions of approximately 75mm Bore Diameter, 130mm Outer Diameter, and 77.8mm Thickness, this bearing ensures reliable performance and excellent shaft support.
Its design features an extended inner ring with grub screws or an eccentric locking collar, enabling secure attachment to the shaft. This unique construction simplifies mounting and ensures robust operation even in environments prone to vibration or misalignment. As a leading supplier of industrial bearings, we ensure our UC 215 bearings meet stringent industry standards, offering exceptional durability and minimal maintenance requirements. They are vital in machinery where ease of installation, sealing, and reliable rotational support are paramount.
