UCF212-36 RITZ Industrial 4 Bolt Self Align Iron Base Flange Bearing

Description

Product Overview

The UCF212-36 flange bearing is engineered with a solid cast iron base that provides exceptional rigidity and resistance to wear in demanding environments. Paired with a high‑quality 52100 alloy steel bearing insert, the unit delivers consistent performance under heavy radial and axial loads. The 2‑1/4 inch bore size accommodates standard shafts, while the four‑bolt mounting pattern ensures a secure and stable attachment to machinery frames.

Designed as a self‑aligning unit, this bearing automatically compensates for minor shaft misalignments, reducing stress on both the shaft and housing. The self‑aligning feature extends the service life of the bearing and connected components by minimizing vibration and uneven wear. Its compact footprint makes it suitable for tight spaces without sacrificing load‑carrying capacity.

Installation is straightforward thanks to the set‑screw lock mechanism that secures the bearing insert within the iron housing. This design eliminates the need for additional locking components, simplifying assembly and reducing installation time. The bearing’s dimensions are standardized for easy replacement and compatibility with a wide range of industrial equipment.

Manufactured by RITZ Industrial, the bearing adheres to rigorous quality control standards and undergoes thorough testing for dimensional accuracy, hardness, and load performance. The product is sourced from reputable facilities in China, ensuring consistent material quality and reliable supply for global customers.

Usage

In agricultural settings, the UCF212-36 bearing supports rotating shafts in feed mills, grain handling systems, and farm machinery, where exposure to dust and debris is common but corrosion is not a primary concern. Its robust construction tolerates the high‑impact forces typical of these applications.

Automotive and pump manufacturers rely on this bearing for reliable operation in water pumps, oil pumps, and cooling system fans. The self‑aligning capability ensures smooth rotation even when mounting surfaces experience slight imperfections, enhancing overall system efficiency.

Construction and material handling equipment benefit from the bearing’s ability to sustain continuous operation under heavy loads. Conveyor rollers, fan assemblies, and manufacturing equipment often incorporate the UCF212-36 to maintain precise alignment and reduce downtime caused by bearing failure.

For dry‑goods processing and packaging lines, the bearing’s corrosion‑resistant design and low maintenance requirements make it an ideal choice. Its compatibility with standard shaft sizes simplifies integration into existing machinery without extensive redesign.

FAQ

What shaft size does the UCF212-36 bearing accommodate?

The bearing features a 2‑1/4 inch (57 mm) bore, making it compatible with standard shafts of that diameter commonly used in industrial machinery.

Can this bearing be used in wet or corrosive environments?

While the bearing is designed for dry and moderate conditions, it is not intended for continuous exposure to water or corrosive chemicals. For such applications, a corrosion‑resistant variant should be selected.

How does the self‑aligning feature benefit my equipment?

The self‑aligning capability compensates for slight misalignments between the shaft and housing, reducing vibration, uneven wear, and the likelihood of premature bearing failure.

Is installation possible without specialized tools?

Yes, the bearing’s set‑screw lock mechanism allows for straightforward installation using standard hand tools, eliminating the need for specialized equipment.

What warranty or after‑sales service is provided?

RITZ Industrial offers a standard warranty covering material defects and provides ongoing technical support to assist with installation, maintenance, and any performance questions.
