A UCPA assembly from SKF combines a cast iron flanged housing with an insert bearing that has an extended inner ring. It supports a rotating shaft on a wall or a flat structure, keeping alignment fixed and lubrication sealed in. Where a shaft needs dependable support with little upkeep, this compact unit installs quickly.
Reading the code helps when ordering. The UCP portion of the designation refers to a housed insert bearing, while the trailing A marks the flange version that carries the mounting holes. The digits that come after, as in UCPA 204 or UCPA 210, set the size of both insert and housing. A larger number means a larger shaft can be accommodated within the series. Sizes in this line span 204 through 210, so always quote the complete part number.
Typical applications include conveyors, belt drives, mixers, fans, pumps and machinery used in agriculture or food processing. Wall mounting keeps the surrounding structure simple, which is why these units also show up in water treatment systems and packaging lines. Fewer anchoring points are needed, and the assembly absorbs small amounts of misalignment.
Selection comes down to three things: the shaft diameter, the load the unit will carry, and the conditions around it. The insert's seal determines how well it handles dust, moisture or repeated washdowns, and lubrication may be permanent or serviceable depending on the insert chosen. At installation, check that the mounting surface is flat and the bolts are tightened correctly. Lining the shaft up with the housing avoids added stress and helps the bearing last.
SKF UCPA housings follow standardized dimensions, so they can replace units from other makers that use the same nomenclature. For a quote, give the full part number and, when you have them, the shaft and housing measurements. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and can point you to a comparable assembly when you are swapping out an existing one. Sealing options within the same series are also available on request.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the UCPA designation tell me?
- It is a standard code. UCP means a housing fitted with an insert bearing, and the A at the end signals the flanged version with mounting holes. The number after it, such as 204 or 210, gives the size of the assembly and the shaft it fits.
- How do I work out which UCPA size fits my shaft?
- Measure the shaft diameter at the point where the insert bearing sits; that measurement matches the series number. If you are unsure, send the old part number or the shaft and housing dimensions and the team will help identify the right size.
- Can SKF UCPA housings replace units from other makers?
- In most cases yes, because UCPA housings use standardized dimensions and share the same nomenclature across brands. Even so, it is worth checking the part number and key dimensions before swapping an assembly, particularly where load or sealing demands are specific.
