**TIMKEN Ball Bearings: High-Performance Insert Bearings for Demanding Applications**

When reliability and precision are non-negotiable, TIMKEN’s **UC 200 Series Wide Inner Ring Ball Bearings** deliver unmatched performance in industrial, automotive, and mechanical power transmission systems. These insert ball bearings are engineered to withstand heavy radial loads, moderate axial loads, and harsh operating conditions while maintaining smooth rotation and extended service life. Designed with a **wide inner ring** for enhanced stability and secure mounting, the UC 200 series is a versatile solution for applications requiring easy installation, durability, and low maintenance.

### **Technical Features & Design Advantages**
TIMKEN’s UC 200 insert bearings are built to excel in challenging environments with several key features:

– **Wide Inner Ring Design**: The extended inner ring provides a larger seating surface, improving shaft retention and reducing edge loading. This design also simplifies alignment and enhances load distribution, minimizing wear.
– **Robust Construction**: Manufactured from high-quality chrome steel, these bearings offer superior hardness and fatigue resistance, ensuring long-term reliability even under high-speed or high-vibration conditions.
– **Sealed for Protection**: Many UC 200 models come with **integral seals** (2RS or LLU options) to prevent contamination from dust, dirt, and moisture—critical for agricultural, food processing, and outdoor machinery.
– **Eccentric Locking Collar**: The included set screw or eccentric locking collar ensures a secure fit on shafts, preventing slippage and maintaining precise positioning without damaging the shaft.
– **Interchangeability**: Conforms to ISO standards, making them compatible with industry housing designs for easy replacement and retrofitting.

### **Performance Benefits**
TIMKEN’s UC 200 bearings are designed to optimize efficiency and reduce downtime:
– **Reduced Friction**: Precision-ground raceways and high-grade steel balls minimize energy loss, improving operational efficiency.
– **Extended Service Life**: Advanced heat treatment and sealing technology protect against premature wear, even in dirty or wet environments.
– **Versatile Mounting Options**: Suitable for pillow block housings, flanged units, or take-up frames, offering flexibility in conveyor systems, fans, and gearboxes.

### **Typical Applications**
These insert bearings are widely used across industries where reliability is critical:
– **Industrial Machinery**: Conveyors, pumps, and material handling equipment benefit from their shock resistance and ease of maintenance.
– **Automotive Systems**: Found in auxiliary drives, tensioners, and HVAC components where compact, high-load bearings are essential.
– **Precision Equipment**: Agricultural machinery, textile systems, and packaging lines rely on their sealed, low-friction operation.

For engineers and maintenance professionals seeking a **durable, high-performance bearing solution**, TIMKEN’s UC 200 Series delivers the perfect balance of strength, precision, and adaptability—backed by TIMKEN’s legacy of innovation in mechanical power transmission.
