Product Overview: The UC 218 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 218 bearing is a robust and versatile component, specifically designed as an Insert Ball Bearing within our comprehensive UC 200 Series. This type of bearing is distinguished by its spherical outer ring, which allows it to be mounted in a bearing housing with a corresponding spherical seat. This design compensates for initial static misalignment, ensuring smooth operation and extending the lifespan of both the bearing and the associated machinery. With precise dimensions of 90mm bore, 160mm outer diameter, and 65.1mm thickness, the UC 218 is engineered for high performance and reliability in diverse industrial applications.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our UC 218 bearings are manufactured to rigorous industry standards. These bearings typically feature a wide inner ring with set screws for secure attachment to the shaft, making installation straightforward and reliable. The UC 218 is an essential choice for applications requiring a dependable, self-contained bearing unit that can withstand challenging operational conditions while providing efficient rotational support.
