New SKF JIS compliant ball bearing units for the European market
UC ball bearing units offer high levels of protection against contaminants due to a well proven sealing system, which comprises an integral single-lip inner seal and an external deflector fitted to the inner ring to maximise the sealing function. In addition, the units are designed with a 120 degree angled grub screw locking system (*) for applications that require an even more precise shaft balance at higher speeds, or where vibration may be an issue.
Unlike some competing products, the UC bearing housings feature solid bases and feet to minimise the possibility of contaminant build-up; this is particularly important where cleanliness is an application consideration. Moreover, to comply with prevailing Health & Safety regulations, or to improve protection against the ingress of contaminants in particularly dirty working environments, UC flanged and take-up units can be supplied with optional polypropylene end covers.
A variety of housing styles is offered, including pillow block, short base pillow block, flanged (square, oval or round formats with two-, three- and four-bolt mounting options), and take-up (for linear motion applications). In addition to the UC cylindrical bore with 120 degree angled grub screw arrangement (*), an alternative tapered bore with adapter sleeve is also available in this new series.
