Product Overview: The UC 309 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 309 is a high-capacity insert ball bearing with a 45mm bore diameter, 100mm outer diameter, and 56mm width. As a key component in our UC 300 Series, this bearing is engineered for demanding applications requiring robust support and simple installation. It features a spherical outer diameter that allows it to be mounted into various types of bearing housings, such as pillow blocks or flange units, accommodating initial static misalignment. The inner ring is extended on both sides and equipped with two set screws for secure and straightforward locking onto the shaft.
Designed for reliability in challenging industrial and agricultural environments, the UC 309 is pre-lubricated and sealed to protect against contaminants and retain grease, minimizing maintenance requirements. Our full range of Insert Ball Bearings provides versatile solutions for creating cost-effective and dependable mounted bearing units.
Features of the UC 309 Bearing
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Part of the UC 300 series, designed for higher load capacities and more demanding applications than standard series.
- Set Screw Locking: Features two set screws positioned on the extended inner ring for a strong, reliable grip on the shaft.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows for initial angular misalignment when fitted into a corresponding housing, simplifying assembly.
- Effective Sealing: Equipped with integral seals to prevent the ingress of dirt and moisture while retaining lubricant.
- Pre-Lubricated: Supplied ready-to-mount with high-quality grease, reducing installation time and effort.
- High-Quality Material: Manufactured from premium bearing steel for durability and extended operational life.
Applications of UC 309 Bearings
- Agricultural Machinery: Widely used in harvesters, conveyors, balers, and other farm equipment that operates in harsh conditions.
- Conveyor Systems: Provides reliable support for rollers and pulleys in material handling systems.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Ideal for supporting shafts in air handling units where reliability is critical.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Suitable for machinery where robust performance and resistance to contamination are necessary.
- Packaging Equipment: Ensures smooth operation in automated packaging lines and sorting machines.
- Construction Equipment: Used in mixers, screening equipment, and other heavy-duty machinery.
- Textile Machinery: Provides dependable rotational support for rollers and shafts in textile production.
Benefits of Using the UC 309 Bearing
- Simplified Installation: The set screw locking mechanism allows for quick and easy mounting onto standard shafts without special tools.
- Enhanced Reliability: The secure shaft locking prevents slippage, ensuring consistent performance under load.
- Reduced Maintenance: The sealed and pre-lubricated design minimizes the need for regular re-greasing, lowering total cost of ownership.
- Versatile Mounting: Can be combined with various housing styles (pillow block, flange, take-up) to suit different application needs.
- Cost-Effective Assembly: Creates a complete mounted bearing unit when paired with a housing, often being more economical than custom bearing arrangements.
- Accommodates Misalignment: The spherical outer surface helps compensate for initial shaft misalignment, reducing stress on the bearing.
