Product Overview: The UK 209 Tapered Bore Insert Bearing
The UK 209 is a high-performance insert ball bearing featuring a tapered bore, specifically designed for secure mounting using an H 2309 adapter sleeve. As a key component in our UK 200 Series, this bearing is engineered for demanding applications requiring a robust and reliable shaft locking mechanism. It has a 45mm tapered bore, an 85mm outer diameter, and a width of 49.2mm. The spherical outer ring allows it to compensate for initial static misalignment when installed in a suitable housing, making it a versatile choice for various industrial and agricultural machinery.
Part of our extensive range of Insert Ball Bearings, the UK 209 is manufactured to precise standards to ensure durability and longevity. Its design is ideal for applications with high loads and vibrations where a secure fit on the shaft is critical. This bearing, when combined with an adapter sleeve, provides superior gripping power compared to standard set screw type bearings.
Key Features of the UK 209 Bearing
- Tapered Bore Design: Allows for a strong, concentric grip on the shaft when mounted with an adapter sleeve, preventing slippage.
- Spherical Outer Ring: Accommodates initial misalignment when fitted into a pillow block or flange housing.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel to withstand heavy radial loads and harsh operating conditions.
- Adapter Sleeve Mounting: Ensures a secure, 360-degree lock on the shaft, ideal for applications with vibrations or reversing rotations.
- Effective Sealing: Equipped with robust seals to protect internal components from contaminants and retain lubrication, extending service life.
- Relubrication Groove: Features a lubrication groove and hole in the outer ring for easy maintenance and relubrication.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Widely used in harvesters, planters, and other farm equipment where robust performance is essential.
- Conveyor Systems: Ideal for conveyor pulleys and rollers that experience heavy loads and continuous operation.
- Construction Equipment: Suitable for mixers, rollers, and other machinery operating in dirty and demanding environments.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides reliable support for shafts in air handling units, ensuring smooth and stable operation.
- Packaging Machinery: Ensures precise and consistent movement in automated packaging lines.
- Mining and Quarrying: Used in screening equipment, crushers, and conveyors where durability is paramount.
- Textile Machinery: Offers stable rotational support in various textile manufacturing processes.
Benefits of Using the UK 209 Bearing
- Enhanced Shaft Grip: The adapter sleeve provides a powerful and uniform lock, minimizing shaft damage and fretting corrosion.
- Improved Reliability: Reduces the risk of bearing failure in high-vibration and heavy-load applications.
- Simplified Installation: Can be easily mounted on commercial-grade shafts without special machining.
- Misalignment Compensation: The spherical outer surface allows for angular misalignment, reducing stress on the bearing and shaft.
- Extended Service Life: High-quality materials and effective seals contribute to a longer operational lifespan.
- Reduced Maintenance: The secure fit and relubrication capability lead to lower maintenance frequency and costs.
