Product Overview: The UK 214 Insert Ball Bearing
The UK 214 is a high-performance insert ball bearing designed for mounting on a 65mm shaft using a corresponding adapter sleeve. As a key component in our UK 200 Series, this bearing features a tapered bore that ensures a tight, concentric fit when used with an adapter sleeve, preventing slippage on the shaft under heavy loads or high speeds. Part of the broader Insert Ball Bearings category, it has a spherical outer diameter of 125mm, allowing it to be mounted in various bearing housings to accommodate initial shaft misalignment. Its robust construction makes it ideal for demanding industrial and agricultural environments.
Key Features of the UK 214 Bearing
- Tapered Bore Design: Allows for secure and precise mounting on shafts using an adapter sleeve, providing superior grip compared to set screw types.
- Self-Aligning Capability: The spherical outer ring enables the bearing to compensate for initial static misalignment when installed in a suitable housing like a P 214 pillow block or F 214 flange unit.
- Relubrication Feature: Equipped with a lubrication groove and hole in the outer ring to facilitate grease replenishment, extending the bearing's service life.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to handle significant radial and moderate axial loads, making it suitable for heavy-duty applications.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel for excellent durability, wear resistance, and long-term performance.
- Effective Sealing: Comes with integral seals on both sides to protect against contaminants and retain lubricant.
Common Applications
- Agricultural Machinery: Widely used in harvesters, plows, seeders, and other farm equipment where robust performance is critical.
- Conveyor Systems: Ideal for supporting rollers and pulleys in material handling systems across various industries.
- Construction Equipment: Found in mixers, compactors, and other machinery that operates in harsh, debris-filled environments.
- Industrial Fans and Blowers: Provides reliable support for rotating shafts in large-scale HVAC and ventilation systems.
- Food and Beverage Processing: Suitable for machinery where reliable operation and contaminant protection are necessary.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Ensures smooth operation of rollers and shafts, accommodating slight misalignments.
- Mining and Quarrying Equipment: Used in crushers, screens, and conveyors that experience heavy loads and vibration.
Benefits of Using the UK 214 Bearing
- Enhanced Shaft Grip: The adapter sleeve mounting provides a powerful, uniform grip on the entire shaft circumference, ideal for high-speed or high-vibration applications.
- Increased Machine Reliability: Accommodates misalignment, reducing stress on the shaft and other components, leading to fewer breakdowns.
- Simplified Installation: Adapter sleeve mounting is straightforward and allows for installation on commercial-grade shafts.
- Extended Service Life: The robust design and relubrication capability ensure a long operational lifespan, even in tough conditions.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs: Durable construction and effective sealing minimize the need for frequent replacements and downtime.
- Versatile Mounting Options: Can be paired with a wide range of pillow block, flange, and take-up housings to suit specific application needs.
