Product Overview: The UC 308 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 308 bearing is a robust and essential component from our UC 300 Series of Insert Ball Bearings. Designed with a spherical outer ring, it is primarily intended for use in bearing housings, such as pillow block or flange units, to create a complete bearing unit. This design allows for initial misalignment compensation during mounting, making it highly adaptable for various industrial applications where perfect shaft alignment might be challenging to maintain. The UC 308 features an extended inner ring and is commonly secured to the shaft using set screws, providing a firm and reliable fit. With a bore diameter of 40mm, an outer diameter of 90mm, and a thickness of 28mm, it is engineered for reliable performance and durability in demanding environments.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our UC 308 bearings meet stringent industry standards, offering smooth operation and reduced friction. They are widely utilized across a spectrum of machinery for their ease of installation and ability to accommodate moderate loads and speeds.
