Product Overview: The UK 207 Insert Ball Bearing
The UK 207 is a high-performance insert ball bearing from our UK 200 Series, designed for applications requiring a robust and secure shaft mounting solution. A key feature of the UK 207 is its tapered bore, which is engineered for use with a corresponding adapter sleeve (such as the H 2307). This mounting method provides a powerful, concentric grip on the shaft, making it superior for applications with high speeds or vibrations. The bearing has a nominal shaft size of 35mm, an outer diameter of 72mm, and an inner ring width of 42.9mm. Its spherical outer surface allows for initial static misalignment when installed in a suitable Bearing Housing, ensuring smooth operation.
Key Features of the UK 207 Bearing
- Tapered Bore Design: Facilitates mounting via an adapter sleeve, ensuring a secure 360-degree grip on the shaft.
- Adapter Sleeve Mounting: Provides superior concentricity and balance compared to set screw types, ideal for high-speed applications.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Allows the bearing to pivot within its housing, accommodating initial shaft misalignment and preventing premature wear.
- Relubrication Capability: Features a lubrication groove and hole in the outer ring for easy maintenance and extended service life.
- High-Quality Bearing Steel: Manufactured from premium-grade steel for enhanced durability, reliability, and load-bearing capacity.
- Standardized Dimensions: Ensures full interchangeability with other manufacturers' 207 series housings and adapter sleeves.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Used in implements like combines, balers, and seeders where robust shaft support is critical.
- Conveyor Systems: Ideal for drive and idler pulleys where secure shaft locking prevents slippage and vibration.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: The concentric grip minimizes vibration, leading to quieter and more efficient operation.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Suitable for machinery that requires reliable operation and easy maintenance.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Ensures precise and stable rotation of rollers and shafts.
- Packaging Equipment: Provides dependable performance in automated packaging lines.
- Construction Equipment: Used in various light-to-medium duty construction machinery for reliable support.
Benefits of Using the UK 207 Bearing
- Enhanced Shaft Grip: The adapter sleeve provides a much stronger and more uniform hold than set screws, reducing the risk of fretting corrosion.
- Improved Equipment Performance: The concentric fit reduces vibration and noise, leading to smoother and more efficient machinery operation.
- Simplified Installation: Adapter sleeves make it easy to mount the bearing at any position on a plain shaft without shoulders or special machining.
- Accommodates Misalignment: The self-aligning capability simplifies assembly and reduces stress on the bearing and shaft.
- Increased Reliability: The secure mounting method and durable construction contribute to a longer operational life and fewer breakdowns.
- Versatile Housing Options: Compatible with a wide range of housings, including pillow blocks (P 207), flange units (F 207), and take-up units.
