Product Overview: The UK 212 Tapered Bore Insert Bearing
The UK 212 is a high-performance insert bearing designed for reliable operation in a wide range of industrial and agricultural applications. As a key component of our UK 200 Series, this bearing features a tapered bore, allowing for secure and concentric mounting onto a 55mm shaft using a compatible adapter sleeve. Its external dimensions are a 110mm outer diameter and a 65.1mm width. The spherical outer ring of the UK 212 is engineered to fit into various bearing housings, where it can pivot to accommodate initial shaft misalignment, reducing stress on the bearing and extending machinery life.
Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, the UK 212 is built for durability and longevity. It is an essential part of our Insert Ball Bearings collection, favored for its robust mounting and self-aligning capabilities. This bearing is an ideal choice for machinery where a simple, secure, and reliable bearing arrangement is required.
Key Features of the UK 212 Bearing
- Tapered Bore Design: Enables a strong, concentric grip on the shaft when used with an adapter sleeve, preventing slippage under heavy loads.
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical outer surface allows the bearing to align itself within the housing, compensating for static misalignment.
- Robust Sealing System: Equipped with integral seals on both sides to protect against contamination and retain lubricant, crucial for harsh environments.
- Re-lubrication Groove: Features a lubrication groove and hole on the outer ring for easy re-greasing, extending the bearing's service life.
- Durable Steel Construction: Made from high-grade bearing steel for excellent load-carrying capacity and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Versatile Housing Compatibility: Designed to be mounted in various housing types, including pillow blocks (e.g., P 212) and flange units (e.g., F 212).
