The NSK UK2/UK3 insert bearing is a ball bearing with an extended inner ring and 1:12 taper, mounted on an adapter sleeve to integrate into split plummer block housings or take-up units. It is used when a simple, self-aligning and easy-to-mount bearing unit is required on transmission shafts. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and advises you on choosing the right insert plus sleeve assembly for your application.
The UK2/UK3 designation is read in parts: UK indicates it is an insert with a tapered bore for a sleeve, the first digit (2 or 3) defines the outer diameter series and the following two digits the shaft diameter. The suffix D1 identifies NSK-specific sealing and tolerance variants. The HS sleeve is chosen with the same shaft number: for example, UK208D1 is combined with HS2308X, UK209D1 with HS2309X and UK213D1 with HS2313X. The UK3 series, on the other hand, shares sleeves from the 23 series: UK308D1 with HS2308X, UK309D1 with HS2309X and UK313D1 with HS2313X.
These inserts are used in transmission equipment requiring quick mounting and good self-alignment: conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, fans, centrifugal pumps and agricultural machinery. In Argentina they are common in food, cement and tannery plants and in maintenance workshops that replace complete units or replace worn inserts. Being a standard component, they allow standardizing maintenance and reducing the variety of spare parts in the plant.
To select the insert, take into account the shaft diameter, the type of load (radial, axial or combined) and the environmental conditions. D1 sealing protects against dust and moisture, but if there are frequent washdowns or fine particles, additional seals should be considered. Mounting on a tapered sleeve requires thoroughly cleaning the surfaces, applying the indicated lubrication and tightening the lock nut with the appropriate wrench to achieve the correct internal clearance. Careful alignment of the housing extends bearing life.
Regarding interchangeability, NSK UK2 and UK3 inserts are dimensionally equivalent to those of other brands that use the same nomenclature and HS sleeves. If the customer brings a code from another brand or an unidentified part, at MR Accesorios Industriales we will indicate the compatible alternative. It is always advisable to verify the shaft diameter, series and sleeve type before replacing, because small differences in sealing or tolerance can affect performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the difference between a UK2 and a UK3 insert?
- The UK2 series has a smaller outer diameter than the UK3 for the same shaft diameter. This influences the load capacity and the housing in which it is mounted. Both use a tapered sleeve, but the HS sleeves are not interchangeable between series: the UK2 uses HS23xx and the UK3 also uses HS23xx, but with different combinations depending on the diameter.
- How do I know which HS sleeve corresponds to my UK insert?
- The sleeve is chosen by the shaft number and the insert series. For example, a UK208D1 takes HS2308X; a UK308D1 also takes HS2308X, but the insert outer diameter changes. Always verify the complete insert code and the sleeve you have before requesting a quote.
- Can a UK insert from another brand be replaced with an NSK one?
- Yes, if the series, shaft diameter and sleeve type match. NSK UK2 and UK3 inserts are dimensionally equivalent to those of other brands that use the same nomenclature. If in doubt, send us the original part code and we will indicate the equivalent.
