The SKF UCFL is a flange housed unit that carries an insert bearing with an extended inner ring and set screws. It mounts on two bolts against sheet metal or iron structures, giving a compact, self-aligning support where installation has to be quick. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line as part of its power transmission range.
Reading the code helps when ordering. UCFL points to a flange housed unit with insert bearing: U for unit, C for the housing type, L for the two-bolt flange version. The figure that comes after the letters, as in UCFL 204 or UCFL 210, sets the insert size and with it the shaft diameter, so a higher figure means larger external dimensions and more load capacity. Locking stays the same across a series: flange housing plus insert.
Typical duty covers conveyors, belts, elevators, mixers, fans, pumps and process equipment. Shafts turning at moderate speed are the usual case, where a sturdy support that is simple to replace matters more than precision. Dust, moisture and washdowns are common, so the insert sealing decides whether the unit fits the spot.
When selecting, work from the shaft diameter, the radial and axial load you expect, and the environment. For assembly, the flange should sit flat on the structure, both bolts tightened and the shaft aligned. Tighten the set screws of the inner ring onto the shaft; with an eccentric collar, lock it in the direction of rotation. Relubricate to suit the duty cycle and check clearance.
Interchange is where mistakes happen. Other makers use similar designations for flange housed units with insert, yet dimensions and locking systems are not always the same. Compare the full part number, the flange shape and the locking type before swapping a unit. If anything is unclear, send the number stamped on the housing or a photo and we will check it with you.

Frequently asked questions
- What does UCFL mean in a housed unit with insert bearing?
- It identifies a two-bolt flange housed unit with insert bearing. U stands for unit, C for the housing type and L for the flange variant. The number after the letters, such as UCFL 205, defines the insert size and shaft diameter.
- How do I choose the UCFL housed unit size for my shaft?
- Measure the shaft diameter at the insert mounting point and compare it with the series table. Factor in radial and axial load and the working environment. On a worn shaft, confirm the insert locks correctly before requesting a quote.
- What data do I need to request a quote for a UCFL housed unit by WhatsApp?
- Send the complete part number from the housing or the insert, the shaft diameter and a photo if you have one. With that information we verify the unit and send you the quote.
