Product Overview: The UC 314 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 314 is a robust and reliable insert ball bearing featuring a 70mm bore diameter, a 150mm outer diameter, and an 85.7mm inner ring width. As a key component in our UC 300 Series, this bearing is specifically designed to be mounted into various types of bearing housings, such as pillow blocks, flange units, or take-up units. Its spherical outer ring allows it to compensate for initial static misalignment, ensuring smooth operation and reducing stress on the shaft. The UC 314 is equipped with a set screw locking mechanism, which provides a simple yet secure method for fastening the bearing to the shaft.
Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel, this unit is part of our comprehensive range of Insert Ball Bearings. It comes pre-lubricated and sealed to protect against contaminants, making it suitable for a wide array of industrial and agricultural environments.
