Product Overview: The UC 317 Heavy-Duty Insert Ball Bearing
The UC 317 is a robust and reliable insert ball bearing designed for demanding industrial and agricultural applications. As a key component of our UC 300 Series, this heavy-duty bearing features an 85mm bore diameter, a 180mm outer diameter, and a 96mm width. It is engineered with a spherical outer ring, which allows it to be mounted into various types of bearing housings, accommodating initial static misalignment. The UC 317 is equipped with two set screws on its extended inner ring, providing a simple yet secure method for locking onto the shaft, ensuring dependable performance even under significant loads and vibrations.
These bearings are pre-lubricated and sealed, making them a low-maintenance solution for a wide range of machinery. Explore our full catalog of Insert Ball Bearings to find the perfect component for your specific operational needs.
Features of the UC 317 Bearing
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to handle high radial loads and challenging operating environments, typical of the 300 series.
- Set Screw Locking: Features two set screws positioned 120 degrees apart for a firm and reliable grip on the shaft.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows the bearing to pivot within its housing, compensating for initial errors in shaft alignment.
- Extended Inner Ring: Provides enhanced shaft support and stability, reducing the risk of tilting or wobbling.
- Pre-Lubricated and Sealed: Arrives greased and sealed from the factory, protecting internal components from contaminants and reducing maintenance requirements.
- High-Quality Bearing Steel: Manufactured from premium-grade steel for exceptional durability and a long service life.
