Product Overview: The UC 220 Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 220 is a robust and reliable insert bearing, a key component in our UC 200 Series product line. With dimensions of 100mm bore diameter, 180mm outer diameter, and a 65.1mm inner ring width, this bearing is engineered for heavy-duty applications. It features a spherical outer surface that allows it to be mounted into various types of bearing housings, such as pillow blocks or flange units, compensating for initial static misalignment of the shaft. The inner ring is extended on both sides and equipped with set screws for a simple yet secure locking mechanism onto the shaft.
As a premier supplier of industrial components, we ensure our UC 220 bearings meet stringent industry standards. They are designed for easy installation and are pre-lubricated and sealed, making them a low-maintenance solution for a wide array of machinery. Explore our full range of insert ball bearings to find the perfect component for your operational needs.
Key Features of the UC 220 Bearing
- Set Screw Locking: Features two set screws positioned 120 degrees apart for a firm and reliable grip on the shaft.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Designed to fit into a corresponding housing, this feature accommodates initial shaft misalignment, reducing stress on the bearing.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built from high-grade bearing steel to withstand substantial radial loads and tough operating conditions.
- Pre-Lubricated and Sealed: Comes lubricated and sealed from the factory, protecting against contaminants and reducing maintenance requirements.
- Extended Inner Ring: Provides greater shaft support and stability compared to bearings with standard width inner rings.
- High Interchangeability: Manufactured to standard metric dimensions, ensuring it can replace or be used with components from other manufacturers.
