Product Overview: The UC 307 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 307 is a robust and highly reliable insert ball bearing, engineered for easy mounting and dependable performance in a wide range of industrial applications. As a key component in our UC 300 Series, this bearing features a 35mm bore diameter, an 80mm outer diameter, and a 48mm inner ring width. It is specifically designed to be fitted into various types of bearing housings, such as pillow blocks, flange units, and take-up units, creating a complete mounted bearing solution. The outer ring is spherically shaped, allowing it to pivot within the housing to accommodate initial static misalignment of the shaft, which simplifies installation and reduces stress on the bearing.
Equipped with a set screw locking mechanism, the UC 307 provides a secure and straightforward method for fastening the bearing to the shaft. This model comes pre-lubricated and sealed, offering excellent protection against contaminants while retaining grease, thereby minimizing maintenance requirements. Our extensive range of Insert Ball Bearings ensures you can find the perfect component for your specific machinery needs, backed by our commitment to quality and durability.
Key Features of the UC 307 Bearing
- Set Screw Locking: Features two set screws in the extended inner ring for simple and secure locking onto the shaft.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows for initial static misalignment when mounted in a corresponding housing, preventing binding and premature wear.
- Pre-Lubricated and Sealed: Comes factory-greased and equipped with seals on both sides to keep lubricant in and contaminants out, extending service life.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-chromium bearing steel for superior hardness, wear resistance, and load-carrying capacity.
- Wide Inner Ring: Provides enhanced shaft support and stability, distributing loads effectively.
- Easy Installation: Designed for quick and straightforward mounting into compatible bearing housings, reducing downtime.
