An insert is a bearing, not a housing
An insert spherical bearing is a ball bearing insert with a spherical outer surface, made to sit in a matching housing and to tolerate the misalignment a shaft picks up in service. The catalogue ranges the inserts themselves, in mounted and unmounted models — buyers who already hold housings order the insert alone, which is how this family is stocked and sold.
It is the smallest family in the catalogue at 41 listings, and it serves a different shelf from the wheel-end range: agricultural and industrial machinery, where UC-coded inserts are the standard replacement unit.
UC and UCF: the two series
The company names UC200 and UC300 as the common UC models, and UCF as the other named line in the family. UC inserts are the cylindrical-bore inserts locked to the shaft; UCF units are the flanged form. The company's own catalogue prints dimension tables for the UC range — the UC212 to UC318 span is shown there — and the series pages split the family the same way.
| Series | Form | Series page |
|---|---|---|
| UC series | Insert bearings, UC200 / UC300 codes common | UC series insert bearings |
| UCF | Flanged insert units | UCF insert bearings |
Ordering an insert by code
Inserts are ordered by their code, and the code carries the bore. A UC code read off the old insert resolves the order in one step; a request described as 'the bearing for a pillow block' needs the code or the bore before it can be matched, because the same housing accepts more than one insert. Housings themselves are not part of this catalogue.
Where these inserts are used
The UC/UCF shelf serves agricultural machinery, conveyors and general industrial shafts. The blog article on UC versus UCF covers which buyers order which form, and why the agricultural trade leans on the UC codes.
