Product Overview: The AEL 208 Insert Ball Bearing
The AEL 208 is a robust and reliable insert ball bearing designed for easy installation and dependable performance in a wide range of applications. Part of the AEL/SA Series, this bearing is a key component within our extensive line of Insert Ball Bearings. It features a 40mm bore diameter, an 80mm spherical outer diameter, and a total width of 49.2mm. The spherical outer surface allows it to be mounted into various types of housings, such as pillow blocks or flange units, where it can compensate for initial static misalignment.
The AEL 208 is equipped with an extended inner ring on one side and utilizes a set screw locking mechanism, enabling a secure and straightforward attachment to the shaft. This design simplifies mounting procedures and ensures a firm grip, preventing slippage during operation. As a premier supplier of industrial components, we provide high-quality AEL 208 bearings manufactured to precise industry standards, ensuring longevity and efficiency in demanding environments.
Key Features of the AEL 208 Bearing
- Set Screw Locking: Features two set screws on the extended inner ring for simple, yet secure, shaft mounting.
- Spherical Outer Ring: The convex outer surface allows for initial static angular misalignment when mounted in a corresponding concave housing.
- Extended Inner Ring: Provides extra shaft support and stability, distributing loads more effectively.
- Pre-Lubricated Design: Comes factory-lubricated and sealed, ready for installation and minimizing initial maintenance requirements.
- Durable Steel Construction: Manufactured from high-grade bearing steel for excellent durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Effective Sealing: Equipped with integral seals to protect against contaminants and retain lubricant, extending service life.
