Product Overview: The UC 311 Heavy-Duty Insert Bearing
The UC 311 is a robust and reliable insert bearing, part of our heavy-duty UC 300 Series. With key dimensions of 55x120x70mm, this bearing is engineered for demanding applications requiring high load capacity and simple installation. Its defining feature is the spherical outer surface, which allows it to be mounted into various types of bearing housings and accommodate initial static misalignment. The inner ring is extended on both sides and equipped with two set screws, ensuring a secure and firm lock onto the shaft.
As a key component in our Insert Ball Bearings collection, the UC 311 is pre-lubricated and features effective seals to protect against contamination, making it a low-maintenance solution for harsh environments. It is a popular choice for creating economical and versatile bearing units for a wide range of industrial and agricultural machinery.
