Product Overview: The UC 309 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 309 bearing is a highly robust and versatile insert ball bearing, a crucial component within our extensive UC 300 Series and UC Series. Designed with a spherical outer ring, this bearing is engineered to fit into a variety of bearing housings, such as pillow block units, flange units, and take-up units. Its primary function is to provide reliable rotational support while accommodating moderate initial misalignment.
The UC 309 features an extended inner ring, typically secured to the shaft by two grub screws, ensuring a tight and reliable fit without the need for adapter sleeves. This design simplifies mounting and dismounting, making it a popular choice across various industries. We supply UC 309 bearings manufactured to precise industry standards, guaranteeing durability and consistent performance in demanding operational environments.
