The PEER UCPX series Y-bearing pillow block is a foot-mounted unit that combines a cast iron housing with an insert ball bearing, already lubricated and sealed. It is used to support rotating shafts in equipment where a compact, self-aligning and easy-to-mount solution is needed. It is common in agricultural machinery, conveyors, fans and process equipment, where the shaft must be supported with controlled clearance and protection against dust and moisture.

The UCPX designation is read in parts: UCP indicates that it is a foot-mounted bearing housing unit with insert bearing; the X indicates a more robust section than the standard UCP line, with a larger outside diameter and load capacity for the same shaft diameter. The examples UCPX05-13, UCPX05-14 and UCPX05-15 share the same housing body and change the bore diameter of the insert, which is identified by the numeric suffix. In UCPX06-17, UCPX06-19 and UCPX06-20 the same happens with a larger body. Thus, the first block defines the housing size and the second, the shaft size.

These units are chosen in food and beverage plants, grain handling, mills, water treatment plants and refrigeration equipment. They also appear in agricultural machinery, seeders, air extractors, conveyor belts and mixers. In Argentina they are common in installations where the shaft works with moderate radial load and some axial load, and where the goal is to replace a split housing or a fixed unit with a foot-mounted solution with good rigidity and easy replacement.

To select a UCPX unit properly, check the shaft diameter, the expected radial and axial load, and the type of environment. The insert seal protects against dust and splashes; if there is frequent washing or moisture, it is advisable to check the type of seal and the housing material. The internal clearance of the insert bearing is set at the factory and is not adjusted during mounting. Lubrication is permanent in most cases, although in severe service relubrication may be required if the insert has a channel. Aligning the housing on the base is key: a flat surface and even tightening prevent deformation and extend bearing life.

Mounted units are interchanged between brands by their designation and by the main dimensions: shaft diameter, height to center, distance between holes and housing width. The PEER UCPX series can replace other foot-mounted units of equivalent section, as long as those dimensions and the insert mounting type match. To confirm the equivalent, the most practical thing is to send the full part number or the shaft and housing measurements. MR Accesorios Industriales quotes the exact part number or size you need.

If you have the unit's part number, the shaft diameter or the measurements of the old housing, send them by WhatsApp to MR Accesorios Industriales. We will quote the corresponding PEER UCPX series unit and tell you the compatible alternative if needed. With that data, the order moves forward without delays.
