Product Overview: UC 215 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 215 is a high-performance insert ball bearing, an essential component within our UC Series, designed for simple and effective mounting into various bearing housings. This bearing features a 75mm bore diameter, a 160mm outer diameter, and an 82mm inner ring width, making it a robust choice for heavy-duty applications. The UC 215 is part of the broader Insert Ball Bearings category and is specifically engineered with a spherical outer diameter to fit into a correspondingly shaped housing, which allows it to accommodate initial static misalignment. Its primary mounting mechanism is a set screw lock on the extended inner ring, ensuring a secure grip on the shaft.
As a key supplier of industrial components, we provide top-quality UC 215 bearings that are pre-lubricated and sealed, ready for immediate installation. They are widely used in creating complete mounted bearing units by combining them with pillow block, flange, or take-up housings, such as the P 215 or F 215. This versatility makes them a go-to solution for industries requiring reliable rotational motion and easy maintenance.
Key Features of the UC 215 Bearing
- Set Screw Locking: Two set screws on the inner ring provide a simple, fast, and secure method for fixing the bearing to the shaft.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows for compensation of initial shaft misalignment when mounted in a compatible housing, reducing stress on the bearing.
- Wide Inner Ring: Offers enhanced shaft support and stability, distributing loads more effectively.
- High-Quality Steel Construction: Manufactured from premium bearing steel for durability, high load capacity, and long service life.
- Effective Sealing: Equipped with integral seals to protect against contaminants like dust and moisture, while retaining lubricant.
- Pre-Lubricated: Greased at the factory, making it ready for installation and minimizing initial maintenance requirements.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Widely used in harvesters, planters, balers, and other farm equipment where reliability is crucial.
- Conveyor Systems: Ideal for rollers, pulleys, and drive shafts in material handling and logistics operations.
- Construction Equipment: Found in mixers, compactors, and other machinery operating in harsh environments.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Suitable for packaging lines, mixers, and processing equipment requiring hygienic and reliable components.
- HVAC Systems: Used in large fans, blowers, and air handling units to support rotating shafts.
- Textile Machinery: Provides stable support for rollers and shafts in weaving and spinning machines.
- Packaging Machinery: Ensures smooth operation in wrapping, bottling, and labeling equipment.
Benefits of Using the UC 215
- Ease of Installation: The set screw locking system allows for quick and straightforward mounting and dismounting without specialized tools.
- Enhanced Equipment Reliability: The ability to accommodate misalignment prevents premature wear and extends the operational life of the machinery.
- Reduced Maintenance: Being sealed and pre-lubricated significantly lowers the need for regular re-lubrication, saving time and costs.
- Versatile and Interchangeable: Designed to industry standards, making it interchangeable with other manufacturers' equivalents and suitable for a wide range of housings.
- Cost-Effective Assembly: Provides a more economical solution for creating mounted bearing units compared to complex multi-component arrangements.
- Improved Performance in Contaminated Environments: The robust sealing system ensures reliable operation even in dusty or damp conditions.
