Product Overview: The UK 209 Insert Ball Bearing for Adapter Sleeves
The UK 209 bearing is a specialized and highly adaptable component within our UK 200 Series and broader UK Series of Insert Ball Bearings. Uniquely designed with an extended inner ring, this bearing is engineered to be mounted onto a shaft using an adapter sleeve, such as the compatible H 209. This mounting method ensures a secure fit, particularly on plain shafts, and facilitates easy installation and removal, reducing downtime for maintenance.
With precise dimensions of 45mm bore diameter (for the shaft via adapter sleeve), 85mm outer diameter, and an overall thickness of 49.2mm, the UK 209 is built to accommodate moderate to heavy radial loads and some axial loads. Its spherical outer ring allows for minor initial misalignment when housed in a suitable bearing housing, providing reliable performance in diverse industrial settings. Our commitment as a leading supplier of industrial bearings ensures that the UK 209 meets stringent quality standards, offering long-lasting durability and efficient operation in your machinery.
