Product Overview: The UC 306 Heavy-Duty Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 306 is a robust and reliable insert ball bearing designed for demanding industrial and agricultural applications. As a key component in our UC 300 Series, this heavy-duty bearing features a 30mm bore diameter, a 72mm outer diameter, and a 42.9mm inner ring width. It belongs to the versatile Insert Ball Bearings category, characterized by a spherical outer surface that allows it to be mounted into various types of housings, such as pillow blocks (P Series) and flange units (F Series). This design accommodates initial static misalignment, simplifying installation and enhancing machine longevity.
The UC 306 is equipped with set screws to securely lock it onto the shaft, providing a straightforward and effective mounting solution. Its rugged construction makes it ideal for handling heavy radial loads and operating in contaminated environments. As a premier supplier of mechanical parts, we ensure our UC 306 bearings meet stringent quality standards for consistent performance.
Key Features of the UC 306 Bearing
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Part of the 300 series, engineered to handle higher loads and more demanding conditions than standard 200 series inserts.
- Set Screw Locking: Features two set screws positioned 120 degrees apart for secure and easy fastening to the shaft.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows for initial static angular misalignment when mounted in a compatible housing, reducing stress on the bearing.
- Pre-Lubricated Design: Supplied with grease and ready to install, minimizing immediate maintenance requirements.
- Advanced Sealing System: Incorporates an integral seal and flinger to effectively retain lubricant and protect against contaminants like dust and moisture.
- High-Quality Material: Manufactured from premium-grade bearing steel for superior durability and wear resistance.
