XIKE Pillow Block Flange Mounted Ball Bearings UCFL201-8 1/2″ CastIron

Description

Product Overview

The XIKE pillow block flange mounted ball bearing set delivers a combination of durability, precision, and ease of use that meets the demanding requirements of modern industrial applications. Each package contains two UCFL201-8 units, sized at a 1/2″ bore, featuring a solid cast‑iron housing that resists corrosion and provides a stable mounting platform. Inside the housing, self‑aligning chrome‑steel sealed bearings are engineered to automatically correct minor shaft misalignments, reducing vibration and extending the lifespan of both the bearing and the driven equipment. The design incorporates a flange‑mounted configuration, allowing straightforward attachment to a variety of machine frames, shafts, and support structures. With a compact footprint of 4.45 x 2.36 x 1.3 inches and a weight of just 1.1 pounds per unit, the bearings are lightweight yet robust, making them suitable for both stationary and mobile machinery.

Usage

These pillow block bearings excel in environments where reliable power transmission is critical. Typical applications include conveyor systems, gearboxes, agricultural equipment, material handling machinery, and HVAC units. The self‑aligning feature is especially valuable in installations where shaft deflection or misalignment may occur due to thermal expansion, load variations, or imperfect mounting. By accommodating up to a few degrees of angular misalignment, the bearings help maintain smooth rotation, lower noise levels, and prevent premature wear on adjacent components. The sealed design protects the internal rolling elements from dust, moisture, and contaminants, ensuring consistent performance even in harsh, dusty, or wet conditions. Maintenance is simplified thanks to the integrated lubrication system, which allows periodic greasing without disassembly, reducing downtime and service costs.

FAQ

What shaft sizes are compatible with the UCFL201-8 bearing?

The UCFL201-8 model is designed for a 1/2″ (12.7 mm) bore shaft. It can accommodate shafts within the standard tolerance range for that size, typically ±0.02 mm.

Can these bearings be used in wet or outdoor environments?

Yes. The sealed design and rust‑proof painted cast‑iron housing protect the internal components from moisture and contaminants, making them suitable for outdoor or wet‑area installations.

How often should the bearings be lubricated?

For most industrial applications, a lubrication interval of every 6‑12 months is sufficient, depending on operating conditions such as load, speed, and environmental exposure.

Are the bearings interchangeable with other brands?

While the dimensions conform to standard pillow block bearing specifications, it is recommended to verify compatibility with the specific mounting flange and shaft dimensions of the alternative brand before substitution.

What is the load capacity of the UCFL201-8 bearing?

The UCFL201-8 bearing is rated for a dynamic load capacity of approximately 1,200 N and a static load capacity of about 2,500 N, suitable for most medium‑load industrial applications.
