UCFL BEARINGS WITH OVAL 2-HOLE CAST IRON FLANGES – 200 Series

UCFL Series 200 Bearings with 2-Hole Oval Cast Iron Flange

TheUCFL Series 200 Bearings are complete bearing assemblies consisting of an oval-flanged cast iron housing and a self-aligning UC insert bearing.

Their compact design with two mounting holes allows them to support a shaft passing through a wall, sheet metal, a frame, or a machine component while minimizing the space required around the mounting location.

Camagris currently offers the following productsUCFL204, UCFL205, UCFL206, UCFL207, UCFL208, UCFL209, UCFL210, UCFL211, and UCFL212, corresponding to tree trunks ranging from 20 to 60 mm.

The products offered in this category are sold under the brand nameCredits.

What is a UCFL level ?

An UCFL level combines:

– an oval FL housing made of cast iron ;

– two mounting holes ;

– a UC-series insert bearing ;

– a spherical outer ring that allows for self-alignment ;

– a wide inner ring ;

– two set screws that secure the assembly to the shaft ;

– seals that protect the bearing ;

– a grease nipple or relubrication device, depending on the model.

The insert bearing is mounted in a spherical seat in the housing. This allows it to rotate slightly to compensate for minor static misalignment between the shaft and the support.

This self-aligning capability simplifies installation and prevents excessive stress from being transmitted to the bearing due to slight misalignment of the frame.

A complete bearing assembly with a UC bearing

The UCFL bearing is sold as acomplete set.

The relationship between housing and pitch is generally as follows:

UCFL204 = FL204 housing + UC204 bearing

UCFL205 = FL205 housing + UC205 bearing

UCFL206 = FL206 housing + UC206 bearing

UCFL207 = FL207 housing + UC207 bearing

UCFL208 = FL208 housing + UC208 bearing

UCFL209 = FL209 housing + UC209 bearing

UCFL210 = FL210 housing + UC210 bearing

UCFL211 = FL211 housing + UC211 bearing

UCFL212 = FL212 housing + UC212 bearing

When the cast-iron housing is still in good condition, it is usually possible to replace only the UC insert bearing.

However, you should check its dimensions, its spherical outer profile, its width, and the lubrication system before replacing it.

The dimensions of the UCFL series are largely standardized, but some secondary dimensions may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer or model. NTN-SNR specifically confirms the dimensions of the UCFL204 through UCFL212 and the cast iron construction with a screw-in UC insert.

How to Choose Your UCFL Level ?

The shaft diameter is the first thing to check, but you should not select a bearing based solely on this dimension.

Check the shaft diameter

UCFL204: 20 mm

UCFL205: 25 mm

UCFL206: 30 mm

UCFL207: 35 mm

UCFL208: 40 mm

UCFL209: 45 mm

UCFL210: 50 mm

UCFL211: 55 mm

UCFL212: 60 mm

Starting with part number 204, the nominal diameter can generally be calculated by multiplying the last two digits by five.

Example:

205 × 5 = 25 mm

207 × 5 = 35 mm

210 × 5 = 50 mm

The U-series nomenclature confirms this coding principle.

Measure the distance between the two mounting points

The center-to-center distance is a critical dimension.

For example, a UCFL205 has a center-to-center distance of 99 mm, while a UCFL206 has a center-to-center distance of 117 mm.

The shaft diameter may therefore be correct, even though the new bearing does not fit the existing bore holes.

Check the length and width of the housing

Also measure:

– the total length of the strap ;

– the width of the housing ;

– its thickness ;

– the diameter of the two holes ;

– the total width of the bearing.

These dimensions make it possible, in particular, to distinguish between the UCFL, ASFW, and ASPFL families.

How is the UC bearing mounted on the shaft ?

The UC insert bearings used in UCFL bearings have awide inner ring with two set screws.

After positioning the bearing on the shaft and aligning the assembly, the two screws are tightened against the shaft to secure the inner ring.

The UC series is specifically identified as a needle roller bearing in the manufacturers' cross-reference tables.

This mounting system is simple and suitable for a wide range of agricultural and industrial applications.

Comparisons Between Major Brands

The UCFL designation is widely used and can be found among many manufacturers.

When looking for a replacement, the following series are among the options available:

NTN

UCFL204D1 through UCFL212D1

The suffix D1 specifically refers to relubricatable NTN models.

SNR

UCFL204 through UCFL212

For example, the SNR UCFL212 consists of a UC212G2 insert and an FL212 housing.

FAG / Schaeffler

UCFL204-J7 through UCFL212-J7, depending on dimensions and availability.

The Schaeffler nomenclature is also usedRCJTY…-JIS.

For example:

UCFL205-J7

RCJTY25-JIS

NSK

UCFL204D1, UCFL205D1, UCFL206D1, etc., as listed in the catalog.

Koyo / JTEKT

UCFL204J, UCFL205J, UCFL206J, etc.

SKF

SKF uses a different naming convention than the UCFL designation.

Family correspondence includes, among other things:

UCFL204 →SKF FYTJ 20 TF

UCFL205 →SKF FYTJ 25 TF

UCFL206 →SKF FYTJ 30 TF

UCFL207 →SKF FYTJ 35 TF

UCFL208 →SKF FYTJ 40 TF

UCFL209 →SKF FYTJ 45 TF

UCFL210 →SKF FYTJ 50 TF

The corresponding SKF series uses a YAR needle roller insert in a matching oval housing. The interchange tables list, for example, UCFL205D1 as interchangeable with FYTJ 25 TF and YAR205-2F.

The cross-references listed are intended to identify a potential replacement. Always compare the housing dimensions, center distance, bearing insert, sealing, and lubrication system before confirming interchangeability.

Some possible OEM equivalents

UCFL bearings are also used as original equipment parts in various agricultural machines.

For example, depending on the catalog, part number UCFL205 may be associated with certain other part numbers:

CNH 73326508

Deutz-Fahr 01145482

Maschio Gaspardo F04100145

Maschio Gaspardo EGL00229R.

However, these references should be treated as placeholders and verified based on the specific application.

What is the difference between UCFL and UCF ?

TheUCFL has an oval flange attwo mounting holes.

TheUCF has a square flange atfour mounting holes.

Both families generally use a UC insert with pin screws.

Thus:

Both the UCFL205 and UCF205 use a UC205-sized bearing and are compatible with a 25-mm shaft.

But their housings are completely different, and they are not interchangeable when it comes to mounting them on the machine.

The UCFL is particularly useful when a compact, two-bolt mounting configuration is required.

What is the difference between UCFL and UCP ?

TheUCP is a foot-mounted bearing designed to be mounted on a support parallel to the shaft axis.

TheUCFL is a flanged bearing designed to be mounted on a wall or support located perpendicular to the shaft.

They can use the same UC insert.

For example:

UCP207 = UC207 insert in a base housing

UCFL207 = UC207 insert in an oval two-hole housing

UCF207 = UC207 insert for a four-hole square housing.

The choice therefore depends mainly on how the machine is mounted.

What is the difference between UCFL and ASFW ?

Both are two-hole oval-flanged cast iron bearings.

The main difference concerns the bearing insert.

TheUCFL uses a UC bearing with a wide inner ring.

TheASFW uses a more compact AS insert bearing.

Both the UCFL205 and the ASFW205 are designed for a 25-mm shaft, but their housings, widths, and bearings are not identical.

They should not be substituted based solely on the bore diameter.

What is the difference between UCFL and ASPFL ?

TheUCFL features a solid cast-iron housing.

TheASPFL features a lightweight housing made of stamped sheet steel.

UCFL is therefore generally stiffer and better suited for assemblies in which the housing is subjected to significant mechanical stresses.

The ASPFL is a good choice when size and weight need to be minimized.

Agricultural Applications of UCFL Bearings

UCFL bearings are used in a wide range of agricultural and material-handling equipment.

They can be found, among other places, at:

– belt conveyors ;

– chain conveyors ;

– coarse-threaded screws ;

– transfer screw ;

– bucket elevators ;

– mixers ;

– food vending machines ;

– balers ;

– spreaders ;

– combine harvesters ;

– forage harvesters ;

– fans ;

– turbines ;

– hoppers ;

– storage equipment ;

– small transmissions ;

– intermediate trees.

Manufacturers specializing in agricultural bearings note that bearing assemblies are used primarily in tillage, seeding, and harvesting equipment, where they are exposed to dust, moisture, and contaminants.

Why use a UCFL bearing on agricultural machinery ?

Compact Design

The oval clamp requires only two attachment points.

Good rigidity

The cast-iron housing provides a sturdy support around the bearing.

Simple mounting on the shaft

The two set screws allow for quick installation without the need for complex machining of the shaft.

Auto-alignment

The spherical geometry of the bearing allows for compensation of slight misalignment.

Replaceable bearing

The UC bearing can generally be replaced without changing the housing, provided the housing remains in good condition.

Relubrication is possible

Standard UCFL bearings are equipped with a lubrication system that allows maintenance to be tailored to operating conditions.

Waterproofing and Harsh Farming Conditions

An agricultural zone may be subject to:

– the earth ;

– dust ;

– straw ;

– humidity ;

– mud ;

– washing ;

– plant residues.

The type of seal is therefore an important factor in selecting a bearing.

Manufacturers offer, among other things, standard seals and reinforced multi-lip versions for heavily contaminated applications. NTN-SNR, for example, distinguishes between standard seals, triple-lip L3 seals, L4 seals, and reinforced AGR seals, depending on the operating conditions.

However, a reinforced version should not automatically be considered identical to the standard bearing: secondary dimensions, permissible speed, and friction may vary.

Installation of a UCFL Bearing

Before assembly, thoroughly clean the shaft and the bracket.

The surface of the shaft must be clean, free of significant burrs, and without excessive corrosion.

Place the bearing on the shaft, then position the two mounting bolts without tightening them completely.

When multiple bearings support the same shaft, align them before permanently securing the housings.

Rotate the shaft by hand to check for any abnormal stress.

Next, tighten the housing fasteners, followed by the two set screws on the bearing.

Follow the manufacturer's recommended torque setting, if known.

Lubrication and Maintenance

The frequency of relubrication depends primarily on:

– rotational speed ;

– the load ;

– temperature ;

– the level of contamination ;

– moisture ;

– the daily operating time.

In a very dusty agricultural setting, the maintenance interval may be shorter than in a clean, protected facility.

You should avoid both insufficient lubrication and excessive lubrication.

Using too much can cause the bearing temperature to rise and damage the seals.

Two small SEO improvements I would also make to this category

The selector"Add My Equipment" is currently displayed before H1, whereas UCFLs are primarily selected based on specifications and dimensions.Should I move it under "Products," or should I categorize this family asindependent of the concept of compatibility.

I would also add filters byshaft diameter, UCFL part number, mounting center distance, and availability, because these are the criteria actually used to identify this type of bearing.
