Product Overview: The UK 207 Insert Ball Bearing with Tapered Bore
The UK 207 bearing is a high-performance Insert Ball Bearing specifically designed with a tapered bore, making it ideal for applications that utilize an adapter sleeve for secure mounting onto a shaft. Measuring 35mm in bore diameter, 72mm in outer diameter, and 42.9mm in total width, this bearing is part of our comprehensive UK 200 Series and UK Series. Its tapered bore design facilitates easy installation and removal, providing a tight fit that enhances overall operational stability and reduces the risk of shaft slippage.
As a crucial component in many industrial systems, the UK 207 bearing ensures reliable performance in demanding environments. Its construction typically includes an extended inner ring and a spherical outer ring, allowing it to be effectively used in bearing housings, such as Pillow Block Units and Flange Units, to compensate for initial shaft misalignment. This combination creates a robust bearing unit that is easy to maintain and offers a long service life.
Key Features of the UK 207 Bearing
- Tapered Bore Design: Engineered for use with adapter sleeves like the H 207, ensuring a precise and secure fit on standard shafts.
- Extended Inner Ring: Provides greater shaft support and enhanced stability, especially under varying loads.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows for angular misalignment when mounted in appropriate housings, preventing stress on the bearing and shaft.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel for excellent durability and resistance to wear.
- Grease Nipple Provision: Often equipped with a grease nipple for easy relubrication, extending service life.
- Easy Installation & Removal: The tapered bore and adapter sleeve system simplify mounting and dismounting procedures.
Common Applications of UK 207 Bearings
- Conveyor Systems: Provides reliable support for rollers and shafts in material handling, accommodating potential misalignments.
- Agricultural Machinery: Used in farming equipment like tractors, harvesters, and cultivators where conditions can lead to shaft deflection.
- Textile Machinery: Ensures smooth operation of spindles and rollers, critical for consistent production quality.
- Fans and Blowers: Ideal for applications where shafts might experience minor misalignments, maintaining balanced rotation.
- Woodworking Equipment: Supports rotating components in saws, planers, and other machinery requiring stable operation.
- Food Processing Equipment: Suitable for machinery that needs robust rotational support and ease of maintenance.
- Packaging Machinery: Essential for components that require precise and consistent rotational movement.
Benefits of Using the UK 207 Bearing
- Enhanced Shaft Grip: When installed with an adapter sleeve, it provides a much tighter and more uniform grip on the shaft compared to cylindrical bore bearings.
- Simplified Mounting: The tapered bore and adapter sleeve make installation easier and more forgiving, especially in field conditions.
- Accommodates Misalignment: The spherical outer ring design helps compensate for initial shaft and housing alignment errors, prolonging bearing life.
- Reduced Maintenance: The robust design and ease of relubrication contribute to extended operational periods and lower maintenance needs.
- Versatile Use: Suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, offering flexibility in design and repair.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Its durability and long service life reduce the frequency of replacements, leading to overall cost savings.
- Optimal Performance: Designed to deliver consistent and reliable performance even in challenging industrial environments.
