Product Overview: The UEL 208 Insert Bearing
The UEL 208 is a high-performance insert bearing featuring a 40mm bore diameter, 80mm outer diameter, and a 51.6mm inner ring width. As a key component in our UEL Series, this bearing is engineered for reliability and ease of use in a wide range of industrial applications. It features a spherical outer diameter that allows it to be mounted into various types of bearing housings, compensating for initial static misalignment of the shaft. The defining feature of the UEL 208 is its eccentric locking collar, which provides a simple, fast, and secure method for locking the bearing onto the shaft.
Designed for integration into housed bearing units, this insert ball bearing is pre-lubricated and sealed, making it a low-maintenance solution for demanding environments. Its robust construction ensures dependable performance in machinery where operational efficiency is critical. Explore our complete range of insert bearings and housings to find the perfect assembly for your needs.
Key Features of the UEL 208 Bearing
- Eccentric Locking Collar: Provides a strong, concentric grip for quick and secure mounting on the shaft with a simple turn.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows for self-alignment within a compatible housing, accommodating initial shaft misalignment and reducing stress on the bearing.
- Wide Inner Ring: Offers enhanced shaft support and stability, distributing loads more effectively.
- Pre-Lubricated and Sealed: Comes greased from the factory and is equipped with seals and flingers for excellent protection against contaminants and lubricant loss.
- High-Quality Steel Construction: Manufactured from premium bearing steel for superior durability, wear resistance, and long service life.
- Relubrication Groove: Features a groove and oil hole on the outer ring to facilitate easy relubrication when necessary, extending its operational life.
