Product Overview: The UC 315 Heavy-Duty Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 315 is a high-capacity insert ball bearing, featuring a 75mm bore diameter, 160mm outer diameter, and 82mm width. As a key component of our UC 300 Series, this bearing is engineered for demanding applications requiring robust performance and reliability. It belongs to the broader category of Insert Ball Bearings, which are designed for easy installation into various types of bearing housings. The UC 315 features a spherical outer diameter that allows it to accommodate initial static misalignment when mounted in a corresponding housing, simplifying setup and reducing stress on the shaft.
Equipped with two set screws positioned 120 degrees apart, the UC 315 provides a secure and reliable locking mechanism to the shaft, preventing slippage under heavy loads and vibrations. Its integrated seals and flingers offer excellent protection against contaminants like dust and moisture, extending the bearing's service life in harsh industrial environments. This pre-lubricated bearing is ready for immediate use, making it a convenient and cost-effective solution for a wide range of machinery.
