Product Overview: The UK 212 Insert Ball Bearing with Adapter Sleeve Compatibility
The UK 212 bearing is a specialized insert ball bearing designed primarily for mounting onto a shaft using an adapter sleeve. This robust bearing, part of our UK 200 Series and broader UK Series, features an extended inner ring and a spherical outer ring. The spherical outer ring allows the bearing to accommodate initial misalignment and shaft deflection when used with appropriate bearing housings such as pillow blocks (P Series) or flange units (F Series, FC Series, FL Series).
With a bore diameter of 60 mm, an outer diameter of 100 mm, and a width of 54 mm, the UK 212 is engineered for reliable performance in applications requiring secure shaft attachment and tolerance for static or dynamic misalignment. Its design facilitates easy installation and removal, making it a popular choice in various industrial settings. We supply high-quality UK 212 bearings that meet industry standards, ensuring longevity and efficiency in your machinery.
Key Features of the UK 212 Bearing
- Adapter Sleeve Mounting: Specifically designed for secure attachment to plain or stepped shafts using a compatible adapter sleeve, such as H 212 or H 312.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Enables the bearing to self-align, compensating for angular misalignment between the shaft and the housing.
- Extended Inner Ring: Provides additional support and stability on the shaft, enhancing load distribution and reducing stress.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for excellent durability, wear resistance, and extended service life.
- Easy Installation & Removal: The adapter sleeve design simplifies mounting and dismounting, reducing maintenance time.
- Versatile Application: Suitable for a wide range of industrial equipment where secure shaft attachment and misalignment accommodation are crucial.
