The SKF UCFCX series Y-bearing housed unit is an assembly 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, easy-to-align unit is required. Its design allows mounting on flat surfaces and securing the shaft with set screws, which simplifies assembly and in-plant maintenance.
The UCFCX designation reads as a category of Y-bearing housed units: the letters UCFC identify the housing type and mounting, while the final X indicates a dimensional variant within the series. The number that follows, as in the example UCFCX 12, indicates the insert bearing size and therefore the shaft diameter it accepts. To choose the correct part number, have the shaft diameter and the type of fixing your equipment needs at hand; with that data we will provide the exact reference.
These housed units are used in a wide variety of industries in Argentina: from conveyor lines and elevators to machinery for food, textiles, wood and aggregate processing. They also appear in pumping, ventilation and power transmission equipment. Their robust construction and the sealing of the insert make them suitable for environments with dust, moderate humidity or frequent washdowns, provided the appropriate sealing is selected.
When selecting a Y-bearing housed unit, verify that the shaft diameter matches the part number and that the housing is compatible with the mounting surface. Check the sealing type: standard versions usually have single-lip seals, while variants with additional seals offer greater protection. Lubrication comes from the factory, but it is advisable to check its condition and relubricate according to the duty cycle. Initial alignment is essential to avoid parasitic loads and extend service life.
Regarding equivalents, Y-bearing housed units are marketed under different nomenclatures depending on the manufacturer. The SKF UCFCX series may be found with similar part numbers in other brands, but the critical dimensions — shaft diameter, hole spacing and height — must match to guarantee interchangeability. Not all variants are equivalent: always verify the mounting dimensions before replacing a unit. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can guide you to find the reference compatible with your application.
If you already have the part number of the housed unit you need, send it via WhatsApp along with a photo or the main dimensions. At MR Accesorios Industriales we will quote the SKF UCFCX reference and its alternatives so you can resolve the replacement without hassle. More than 80 years supporting Argentine industry with power transmission components and bearings.
