The SKF UCFL housed unit with insert bearing is a two-bolt flange unit that houses an insert bearing with an extended inner ring and set screws. It is used to support shafts on sheet metal or iron structures, where a compact, self-aligning and easy-to-mount unit is required. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with more than 80 years of experience in power transmission.
The UCFL designation is read as a category of flange housed units with insert bearing: the U indicates unit, the C the housing type and the L the two-bolt flange variant. The number that follows, as in UCFL 204 or UCFL 210, indicates the size of the insert bearing and therefore the shaft diameter it houses. The higher the number, the greater the load capacity and external dimensions. Within the same series, the part number does not change the locking type: it is always a flange housing with insert.
These housed units are used in conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, fans, pumps and process equipment. In Argentina they appear in food plants, cold storage facilities, tanneries, water treatment plants, mills and metalworking factories. They are also common in agricultural machinery and packaging lines, where the shaft rotates at moderate speeds and a robust support with simple replacement is required.
To choose well, take into account the shaft diameter, the expected radial and axial load, and the working environment. The sealing of the insert defines whether it is suitable for dust, moisture or frequent washdowns. Assembly requires the flange to rest flat on the structure, with both bolts properly tightened and the shaft aligned. The set screws of the inner ring are tightened onto the shaft; if the insert has an eccentric collar, it is locked in the direction of rotation. Lubricate according to the duty cycle and check the clearance.
Regarding equivalences, different manufacturers use similar designations for flange housed units with insert, but measurements and locking systems do not always match. Before replacing a unit, compare the complete part number, the flange shape and the insert locking type. If you have doubts, send us the part number stamped on the housing or a photo and we will verify it with you.
