FYH UC209L3 Insert Bearing, 45 mm Bore, Triple-Lip Seal, Set Screw, 85 mm O.D.

This page covers 4 FYH UC200 series insert bearings with set screws and a double seal (L2) or triple-lip seal (L3): UC205L2, UC206L3, UC209L3 and UC211L3. Choose the size from the drop-down; the part number shows the seal type, and each variant has its own dimensions and ratings in the Model Details (metric bores).

An insert bearing is the replaceable bearing inside a plummer block (pillow block), flange or take-up unit. UC type inserts have a wide inner ring and a spherical O.D., so they seat in a housing with a matching spherical bore.

Where this product is used

• Replacement insert for a plummer block or pillow block unit
• Replacement insert for flange and take-up housings with a matching spherical bore
• Conveyor rollers, drive shafts and idler stations
• Fans, blowers and pumps
• Agricultural, construction and general industrial machinery

Features

• Wide inner ring with set screws (FYH Bullet Point type) spaced 120 degrees apart to lock the insert on the shaft
• Spherical O.D. with a grease groove and grease holes, so the insert can be re-lubricated when it is in a housing
• Triple-lip seal type (L3) on the models with L3 in the part number; the models with L2 in the part number are the double seal type
• Supplied pre-lubricated with FYH grease
• Basic dynamic load rating Cr 14 to 43.4 kN and static rating C0r 7.85 to 29.4 kN (see the Model Details for each size)

Key specifications

Available sizes

A dash means the catalogue gives no figure for that exact model number, so none is shown.

Selecting the right option

Every size on this page has a metric bore (shaft sizes in mm). Match the bore to the shaft you have: an inch shaft needs the imperial version of the same insert, which is a different size.

Set screw (grub screw) inserts lock to the shaft with set screws spaced 120 degrees apart, so they suit a plain shaft of the matching bore size.

Seal types on this page: L3 means the triple-lip seal type; L2 means the double seal type (the catalogue table marks UC201 to UC205 as double seal type). The part number tells you which seal the variant has. The catalogue lists lower allowable rotating speeds for the L3 type than for the standard seal, and gives no separate speed for the L2 type.

Fitting and use

Check the load and speed against the catalogue figures in the Model Details before ordering, and apply a suitable safety factor. The allowable rotating speed in the catalogue is a standard value: it falls to 80% for units fitted with covers, and a loose fit between shaft and inner ring reduces it further.

Tighten the set screws once the insert is in position on the shaft.

Match the insert to a housing with the same size number: the spherical O.D. seats in a matching spherical housing bore.

If you are unsure which insert suits a shaft and housing, send AIMS the part numbers or sizes and we will confirm the fit.
