Timken UC Series Ball Housed Unit Catalog

Product catalog summary
Introduction
Timken has a long history of innovation in the field of bearings, offering a variety of ball bearing housed units designed for optimal performance. These units are supported by a global team of service engineers to enhance maintenance cycles and maximize uptime.
Housing Styles
The UC-Series includes several housing styles such as UCFC piloted round flanged units, UCFL two-bolt flanged units, UCT take-up units, UC wide inner ring ball bearings, UCF four-bolt flanged units, and UCP pillow block units, available in both metric and imperial sizes.
Nomenclature
The nomenclature for these units includes codes for housing type, bearing insert, series, and bore diameter. For instance, UCF201 denotes a four-bolt flanged unit with a 12 mm bore.
Features
Key features include a high-performance seal, lubrication delivery system, precision-formed flinger, and a wide inner ring for improved shaft support. The units are prelubricated with premium grease and have a set screw locking mechanism for easy installation.
Installation
Installation involves ensuring the shaft is clean and of proper diameter, installing the grease fitting, bolting the housing to its supports, and locking the bearing to the shaft by tightening the set screws. Periodic relubrication is recommended based on operating conditions.
Technical Data
Tables provide details on shaft tolerance, bolt mounting torque, and set screw tightening torque. For example, suggested bolt torque for an M10 bolt is 12-21 Nm.
Housed Unit Tables
The document includes detailed tables for various housed units like UCP pillow block units and UCF four-bolt flanged units, specifying dimensions, load ratings, and other technical specifications.
Overview
The document provides detailed specifications and features of various Timken bearing units, including UCF, UCFL, UCFC, and UCT series. These units are designed for different industrial applications, offering solutions for shaft misalignment and ease of installation.
Specifications
  • Inner Ring Ball Bearings: Feature self-aligning spherical outside diameters to compensate for shaft misalignment.
  • Interchangeability: Bolt-hole spacing dimensions and shaft center location are interchangeable with competitive units.
  • Prelubrication: Bearings are prelubricated and ready for immediate installation, with grease fittings supplied for relubrication.
  • Bonded Seal Design: Suitable for wet or dirty environments, enhancing durability and performance.
  • Housing Design: Facilitates ease of bearing replacement.
Product Series
  • UCF-Series: Set screw flanged units featuring the Timken UC bearing insert, designed for ease of installation and maintenance.
  • UCFL-Series: Two-bolt flanged units for industrial applications with restricted mounting areas, offering similar features to the UCF series.
  • UCFC-Series: Piloted round flanged units ensuring accurate mounting fits and better support for heavy loads.
  • UCT-Series: Take-up units used for shaft adjustment and belt-tightening in conveyor applications, providing compact and efficient support.
Technical Data
The document includes extensive tables detailing the dimensions, load ratings, and weights of various bearing units across different series. Key parameters such as shaft diameter, dynamic and static load ratings, and bolt sizes are provided for each unit type.
Applications
These bearing units are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, particularly where shaft misalignment and environmental challenges such as moisture and dirt are present.
Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for various UC and UCT series bearings, including shaft diameters, bearing designations, load ratings, dimensions, and weights. The bearings are designed for industrial applications with normal loads and feature a set screw locking mechanism.
Procedures and Recommendations
The bearings are prelubricated and ready for installation. They are suitable for reversing load applications and provide effective shaft support. The land-riding bonded nitrile seal offers protection against contaminants and retains lubricant under severe conditions. An external steel flinger adds extra protection.
Standards and Norms
The UC-series bearings have superfinished raceways and grade-10 balls for smooth operation and low noise. They feature spherical outside diameters for use in housings with corresponding spherical inside surfaces to compensate for shaft misalignment.
Product Features
Timken offers a range of housed units, including SNT Plummer blocks, spherical roller bearing solid-block housed units, SAF Pillow blocks, Type E tapered roller bearing housed units, and ball bearing housed units. These products are designed for various industrial applications, including power generation, mining, cement, metal mills, and more.
Applications
The bearings and housed units are suitable for demanding industrial operations such as pulp and paper, water treatment, food and beverage processing, warehousing, and industrial fans/blowers.
Company Information
Timken is a global company that designs, manufactures, and markets high-performance mechanical components, including bearings, gears, and chains. They focus on improving the reliability and performance of machinery across diverse markets.

Ball bearing housed units are available in a wide variety of sizes and housing styles to accommodate a complete range of operating conditions. These units generally have cast-iron housings and are designed for mounting on straight shafts with a slip fit. The set screw locking mechanism provides ease in mounting. 1. Ensure that the shaft is clean, free from burrs, straight and of proper diameter. The bearing should not be mounted on a worn section of the shaft. Using shafts with hardness greater than HRC 45 will reduce effectiveness of locking devices. See table 2 on page 9 for suggested shaft...
