Product Overview: The UC 305 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 305 is a robust and widely used insert ball bearing, featuring a 25mm bore diameter, 62mm outer diameter, and 38.1mm inner ring width. As a key component in our UC 300 Series, this bearing is designed to be fitted into various types of bearing housings, creating a complete mounted bearing unit. Its signature feature is an extended inner ring with two set screws, allowing for simple and secure locking onto a shaft. The outer ring is spherically shaped, enabling it to accommodate initial static misalignment when installed in a corresponding housing.
Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, the UC 305 is engineered for reliability in demanding conditions. It is pre-lubricated and equipped with effective seals to prevent contamination and retain grease, making it a low-maintenance solution for a multitude of industrial and agricultural applications.

Key Features of the UC 305 Bearing
- Set Screw Locking: Features two set screws on the extended inner ring for a secure and easy-to-install grip on the shaft.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows for initial static angular misalignment, simplifying installation and reducing stress on the bearing.
- Extended Inner Ring: Provides enhanced shaft support and stability, reducing the risk of tilting.
- Pre-Lubricated and Sealed: Arrives ready to use, pre-filled with grease and protected by integral seals that keep lubricants in and contaminants out.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-grade bearing steel for excellent durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Replaceable Design: Can be easily replaced within a housing, offering a cost-effective maintenance solution.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Widely used in harvesters, planters, balers, and other farm equipment where reliability is crucial.
- Conveyor Systems: Provides dependable support for rollers and pulleys in material handling applications.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Suitable for machinery used in production lines, where hygiene and resistance to washdowns are important.
- Packaging Machinery: Ensures smooth operation in wrapping, bottling, and labeling equipment.
- HVAC Systems: Ideal for use in fans, blowers, and air handling units.
- Construction Equipment: Employed in mixers, crushers, and other heavy-duty machinery.

Benefits of Using the UC 305
- Simplified Installation: The set screw locking mechanism allows for quick and straightforward mounting without specialized tools.
- Enhanced Equipment Lifespan: The ability to accommodate misalignment reduces stress on the shaft and adjacent components, prolonging machine life.
- Reduced Maintenance: Being pre-lubricated and sealed significantly lowers the need for regular re-lubrication, saving time and costs.
- Cost-Effective Operation: As a replaceable insert, only the bearing needs to be changed in case of failure, not the entire housing assembly.
- Reliable Performance: The secure locking and robust sealing ensure consistent and dependable operation even in contaminated environments.
- High Versatility: Can be paired with various housing styles, including pillow blocks (P-series), flange units (F/FL-series), and take-up units (T-series), to suit different mounting needs.
