Product Overview: The UC 311 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 311 bearing is a robust and highly versatile component within our extensive UC 300 Series and overall UC Series of Insert Ball Bearings. Specifically designed to be housed in various bearing units such as Pillow Block, Flange, and Take-Up units, this bearing features a spherical outer ring that allows it to self-align within the housing, accommodating initial misalignment and shaft deflections. With a precise Bore Diameter of 55 mm, an Outer Diameter of 120 mm, and a Thickness of 65.1 mm, the UC 311 is engineered for demanding industrial applications requiring reliability and ease of maintenance.
As a leading supplier of high-quality industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure our UC 311 bearings meet stringent industry standards. These bearings are pre-lubricated and sealed, offering excellent protection against contaminants and minimizing the need for frequent maintenance. The common mounting methods for UC type bearings include grub screws or an eccentric locking collar, providing secure attachment to the shaft and facilitating quick installation and replacement. Explore our full range of insert ball bearings to find the perfect solution for your specific industrial requirements.
