General operating limitations
Take up units are suited to application in which static misalignment of up to 2 deg must be overcome, but are not well suited to high speed, dynamic misalignment applications where an internally aligning bearing system should be used.
Operating temperature range -20 to +100 Celsius, but at temperatures above 70C, grease degradation should be considered a limiting factor.
Bearings with tapered bore and adapter sleeves
The UCTX series is available with inserts featuring tapered bore and supplied with an adapter sleeve for positive shaft locking on inch and imperial shaft sizes up to 60mm
