Product Overview: The UC 320 Heavy-Duty Insert Bearing
The UC 320 is a high-capacity, heavy-duty insert bearing designed for reliability in demanding industrial and agricultural applications. With key dimensions of a 100mm bore diameter, a 215mm outer diameter, and a wide inner ring width of 110mm for enhanced shaft support, this bearing is a robust component in our UC 300 Series. As part of the wider Insert Ball Bearings category, it is engineered to be mounted within a compatible bearing housing, such as a pillow block or flange unit.
The UC 320 features a spherical outer surface that allows it to accommodate initial static misalignment when installed in a housing, simplifying the assembly process. It is firmly secured to the shaft using two set screws, providing a strong and dependable lock. Pre-lubricated and sealed at the factory, this bearing is designed for long service life with minimal maintenance, making it a practical and efficient choice for a variety of machinery.
Key Features of the UC 320 Bearing
- Heavy-Duty Design: Built to handle high radial loads and challenging operating conditions typical of the UC 300 series.
- Set Screw Locking: Features two set screws for a simple, yet secure, attachment to the shaft, preventing slippage.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows for initial static misalignment when paired with a corresponding housing, reducing stress on the bearing.
- Wide Inner Ring: Provides excellent shaft support and stability, distributing loads effectively.
- Pre-Lubricated and Sealed: Comes ready to install with factory lubrication and integral seals to protect against contaminants and retain grease.
- High-Quality Material: Manufactured from premium bearing steel for exceptional durability and resistance to wear.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Ideal for use in heavy equipment such as combines, harvesters, balers, and tillage machinery.
- Conveyor Systems: Provides reliable support for rollers and pulleys in material handling and bulk transport systems.
- Construction Equipment: Used in cement mixers, road rollers, and other machinery exposed to heavy loads and harsh environments.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Ensures stable rotation for large-scale air handling units.
- Mining and Quarrying: Suitable for crushers, screens, and conveyors that operate under extreme conditions.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Can be used in heavy-duty mixing, processing, and packaging equipment.
