The NTN UCP pillow block with insert bearing is a foot-mounted unit that combines a cast iron housing with an insert ball bearing, already mounted and lubricated. It is used to support rotating shafts in equipment where a compact and easy-to-align solution is needed. The UCP series covers shaft sizes according to the part number, and at MR Accesorios Industriales we quote it on WhatsApp with the exact part number you need.

The UCP designation identifies the unit: U is the pillow block housing, C indicates the insert bearing with set screw locking collar and P the split pillow block type. The number that follows — as in UCP-1M, UCP-2M or UCP-20M — is associated with the shaft diameter it accommodates. The M suffix corresponds to the variant with contact seal. Thus, UCP-3M and UCP-25M are units of the same family with different capacities.

These units are used in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, fans and packaging lines. In Argentina they appear frequently in food plants, cement plants, tanneries and metalworking shops, where the environment often has dust or moisture. The cast iron housing and sealed insert withstand these conditions well. They are also chosen for equipment rotating at moderate speeds and where a rigid support is to be replaced by one that absorbs small misalignments.

To select correctly, consider the shaft diameter, radial and axial loads, and the type of sealing required by the environment. The M suffix indicates contact seal, suitable if there is dust or liquids. During assembly, support the base on a flat, clean surface, tighten the insert set screws onto the shaft and check alignment with a straightedge or laser. Lubricate according to the duty cycle and periodically check clearance and seal condition.

NTN UCP units are interchangeable with those of other brands that use the same dimensional nomenclature. If you have the part number from another brand, send it to us and we will indicate the equivalent. We can also quote the complete unit or the insert bearing separately, according to what you need. The UCP series is standard in the market and is available in the most common shaft sizes.
