Product Overview: The UC 316 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 316 insert ball bearing is a robust and highly efficient component, a key part of our UC 300 Series and broader UC Series of Insert Ball Bearings. Specifically designed for applications requiring easy mounting onto shafts, the UC 316 features an extended inner ring with grub screws for secure shaft attachment. With a bore diameter of 80mm, an outer diameter of 170mm, and an inner ring width (thickness) of 92mm, this bearing provides stable and reliable rotation in various industrial environments. It is engineered to operate seamlessly when integrated into bearing housing units, accommodating minor misalignments typical in machinery setups.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings, we ensure that our UC 316 bearings meet rigorous industry standards, offering exceptional durability and performance. These bearings are pre-lubricated and often come with effective sealing solutions, making them suitable for contaminated environments and reducing the need for frequent maintenance. The UC 316 is an ideal choice for machinery where simple installation, reliable operation, and protection against contaminants are crucial.
Key Features of the UC 316 Bearing
- Extended Inner Ring: Provides greater stability and support for the shaft.
- Grub Screw Locking: Enables quick and secure mounting onto the shaft, preventing slippage.
- Integrated Sealing: Often equipped with contact seals to protect against dust, dirt, and moisture ingress.
- Pre-Lubricated Design: Factory-filled with high-quality grease for immediate use and extended service intervals.
- Self-Aligning Capability (with Housing): Designed with a spherical outer surface to fit into matching spherical housing bores, allowing for initial misalignment compensation.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for excellent wear resistance and long service life.
