Product Overview: The UEL 206 Insert Bearing with Eccentric Locking Collar
The UEL 206 is a robust and reliable insert bearing designed for straightforward installation and dependable performance in a wide range of industrial and agricultural applications. As a key component in our UEL Series, this bearing features an eccentric locking collar mechanism, which allows for quick and secure mounting onto a standard shaft. Its spherical outer diameter is engineered to fit into various types of bearing housings, accommodating initial static misalignment between the shaft and the housing structure. Manufactured to industry-standard dimensions of 30x62x48.4mm, the UEL 206 is a versatile solution within our extensive collection of Insert Ball Bearings.
Key Features of the UEL 206 Bearing
- Eccentric Locking Collar: Provides a simple, fast, and secure method for locking the bearing onto the shaft, ideal for applications with unidirectional rotation.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows the bearing to be easily mounted in pillow block, flange, or take-up unit housings and compensates for initial shaft misalignment.
- Pre-Lubricated and Sealed: Arrives factory-lubricated and equipped with seals to retain grease and protect against contaminants, reducing maintenance needs.
- High-Quality Bearing Steel: Constructed from premium-grade steel for enhanced durability, load-carrying capacity, and operational longevity.
- Wide Inner Ring: Offers excellent shaft support and stability, distributing loads effectively along the shaft.
- Relubrication Feature: Typically includes a lubrication groove and oil hole on the outer ring for easy relubrication, extending the bearing's service life in demanding conditions.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Widely used in equipment such as combines, harvesters, balers, and seeders where reliability is critical.
- Conveyor Systems: An essential component for rollers and drives in material handling and conveyor belt systems.
- HVAC Systems: Ideal for fans, blowers, and air handling units, ensuring smooth and quiet operation.
- Packaging and Food Processing: Suitable for machinery that requires reliable rotational motion and easy maintenance.
- Textile Machinery: Provides stable support for rotating components in spinning and weaving machines.
- Construction Equipment: Used in light-duty construction machinery for various rotating shaft applications.
- Fitness Equipment: Found in professional-grade fitness machines requiring smooth and consistent rotational movement.
Benefits of Using the UEL 206
- Simplified Installation: The eccentric locking collar design allows for quick and easy mounting without the need for special tools, saving time and labor.
- Reliable Shaft Locking: Ensures a tight grip on the shaft, preventing slippage and maintaining operational stability.
- Accommodates Misalignment: The spherical outer surface, when paired with a corresponding housing, compensates for initial alignment errors, reducing stress on the bearing.
- Cost-Effective Assembly: Provides an economical solution for creating mounted bearing units when combined with standard housings like the P 206 or F 206.
- Enhanced Equipment Lifespan: By providing stable support and accommodating misalignment, it helps extend the life of the machinery it's installed in.
- Low Maintenance Operation: The sealed and pre-lubricated design minimizes the need for regular attention, lowering overall maintenance costs.
