KMB Bearing UC 210

The KMB Bearing UC 210 is a high-performance, self-aligning pillow block bearing unit designed for a wide range of industrial applications. This bearing unit combines a sealed ball bearing with a robust cast iron housing, providing excellent durability and ease of installation. It is engineered to handle moderate radial loads while accommodating misalignments, making it an ideal choice for machinery and systems where shaft alignment may not be perfect.

Design and Features

1. Self-Aligning Ball Bearing:
   The UC 210 features a self-aligning ball bearing, which means it can compensate for minor shaft misalignments, reducing stress on the bearing and prolonging its lifespan. This is especially useful in applications where slight angular or parallel misalignments may occur during operation. The self-aligning feature ensures smooth rotation and optimal performance, even in less-than-ideal alignment conditions.
2. Pillow Block Housing:
   The UC 210 comes with a pillow block housing made from high-strength cast iron, providing stability and protection to the bearing. The housing is designed to support the bearing securely, minimizing vibrations and preventing excessive movement that could lead to premature failure. The pillow block design also makes installation easier, offering a robust mounting solution for various industrial machinery.
3. Sealed Design for Protection:
   This bearing unit includes sealed ball bearings on both sides to protect the internal components from dirt, moisture, and other contaminants. The sealed design helps maintain the smooth operation of the bearing, reduces the need for frequent maintenance, and extends its service life, even in harsh working environments.
4. Set Screw Mounting:
   The UC 210 is designed for easy installation with a set screw mounting method, which allows the bearing to be securely attached to the shaft. The set screws ensure a tight grip, preventing the bearing from slipping or rotating during operation. This simple mounting method also speeds up installation and reduces downtime during maintenance.
5. Versatile Bore Size:
   The UC 210 is designed to accommodate shafts with a 50mm bore diameter, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial applications. This versatile bore size allows the UC 210 to be used in various machinery, including conveyor systems, agricultural equipment, pumps, and more.
6. High Load Capacity:
   Built to handle moderate radial loads, the UC 210 can support heavy-duty applications without sacrificing performance. Whether used in industrial machinery or agricultural systems, this bearing unit ensures stable and reliable operation even under challenging load conditions.
7. Durable Construction:
   The housing of the UC 210 is made from high-quality cast iron that offers excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and impact. The bearing unit is designed to endure demanding environments and harsh operational conditions, ensuring long-term reliability and minimizing the need for replacements or repairs.
8. Low Maintenance:
   The sealed bearing design reduces the ingress of contaminants such as dust, dirt, and moisture, which in turn minimizes the need for frequent lubrication and maintenance. This feature makes the UC 210 an efficient and cost-effective option for applications where maintenance access may be limited.
9. Compact and Easy to Install:
   The UC 210 is compact in design, making it easy to install and fit into tight spaces. Its user-friendly mounting system and lightweight construction help speed up installation, reducing the time and effort required for setup.

Applications

   The UC 210 is commonly used in conveyor systems for material handling, where reliable performance and the ability to handle misalignment are critical. The self-aligning feature ensures smooth operation, even if the conveyor system experiences slight misalignment during operation.
2. Agricultural Machinery:
   The UC 210 is well-suited for agricultural machinery, including tractors, plows, and harvesters, where it can handle moderate radial loads and provide resistance to contamination from dirt, dust, and moisture commonly found in agricultural environments.
3. Industrial Equipment:
   The UC 210 is used in a variety of industrial equipment, such as pumps, mixers, blowers, and gearboxes. Its durability, load-bearing capacity, and self-aligning properties make it ideal for applications where high performance and minimal maintenance are required.
4. Automated Systems:
   In automated systems where smooth, uninterrupted motion is essential, the UC 210 bearing unit is an excellent choice. Its sealed design and ease of installation make it perfect for automated conveyor lines, assembly machines, and other similar systems.
5. Textile and Paper Industries:
   The UC 210 is also commonly used in the textile and paper industries, where machinery is subject to continuous operation under heavy loads. Its resistance to contamination and self-aligning features ensure reliable performance in these demanding sectors.
6. Mining and Quarrying:
   In mining and quarrying operations, equipment often operates under harsh conditions where dust, moisture, and heavy loads are prevalent. The UC 210 is a durable bearing unit that can handle the tough working environment while providing consistent performance and minimal maintenance.
