Radial Insert Ball Bearings

Radial Insert Ball Bearings for Flexible Mounting on Shafts and Housings | High-Quality Bearings

Radial Insert Ball Bearings are designed to provide flexibility and ease in mounting on shafts or housings, making them a versatile solution for a wide range of industrial applications. These bearings are ideal for managing high radial forces and low axial loads, offering reliable performance even in challenging conditions. With the ability to compensate for shaft misalignment and deflections, radial insert ball bearings ensure smooth operation and enhanced durability.

Their design adheres to DIN 626-1 standards, making them compatible with various systems while delivering excellent performance. Available in several configurations, including bearings with extended inner rings, eccentric collars, conical bores, cylindrical bores, and square bores, these bearings provide flexibility for both high-speed and high-load applications.

Key Features:

High radial load capacity with low axial force management.
Compensation for misalignment and shaft deflections, ensuring smooth, continuous operation.
Flexible mounting options, including grub screws, eccentric collars, and adapter sleeves, make installation straightforward.
High-speed capability, especially with configurations designed for dynamic applications.

Versions of Radial Insert Ball Bearings:

Extended Inner Ring with Grub Screws
Models like UC 2, UC 3, SB 2, and SSUC 2 use grub screws to securely fix the inner ring onto the shaft. These are suitable for moderate loads and both directions of rotation.
Eccentric Collar
Bearings such as SA 2 and UEL 2 are equipped with eccentric collars and grub screws, offering secure mounting and higher-speed capacity when the rotation is constant.
Conical Bore
Models like UK 2 and UK 3 use adapter sleeves, enabling high-speed performance and bidirectional rotation, providing smoother, quieter operation.
Cylindrical Bore
CS 2 series bearings use a simple shaft fitting method, saving space while supporting medium to high speeds and higher loads.
Square Bore
The GW 2 series is designed for shafts with square cross-sections, allowing for space-efficient installation and supporting medium to high speeds.

Material Options:

Radial Insert Ball Bearings in Rolling Bearing Steel:
These bearings offer exceptional load-bearing capacity and withstand temperatures from -10°C to +120°C (up to +100°C for rubber seals). They are wear-resistant, shock-resistant, and magnetic, making them suitable for demanding environments.
Radial Insert Ball Bearings in Stainless Steel:
Known for their hygienic properties, these bearings are corrosion-resistant, highly durable, and can withstand temperatures from -20°C and higher, making them ideal for more specialized applications.

Applications:
Radial insert ball bearings are widely used in industries such as automotive, agricultural machinery, and general manufacturing. Their ability to handle high radial loads while compensating for misalignment makes them indispensable in systems requiring reliable and long-lasting performance.
