The UCT bearing housing from SKF pairs a cast iron take-up housing with a self-aligning insert bearing, giving you a ready-to-mount unit for drive shafts. It tolerates a degree of initial misalignment and simplifies both assembly and disassembly on equipment that carries radial loads. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this SKF line to maintenance and purchasing teams throughout the United States and Latin America.
In the UCT code, U stands for unit, C for the insert bearing and T for the take-up housing shape. The digits that follow — as in UCT 204, UCT 205, UCT 206, UCT 210, UCT 211, UCT 214 and UCT 216 — set the insert bearing size, so a higher number means a larger shaft diameter. The take-up body has a flat base and mounting holes, letting you bolt it down on horizontal surfaces. Suffixes can appear for sealing or locking variations.
You will find these units in conveyors, bucket elevators, mixers, fans and machine tools, across food, chemical, mining and logistics operations. The insert mounts on the shaft first, then the housing fastens to the frame, which keeps maintenance work straightforward and shortens downtime. They suit areas with moderate dust or moisture when the right seal is chosen.
When selecting a UCT housing, work from the shaft diameter, the radial and axial loads, and the surrounding conditions. The insert bearing typically arrives pre-lubricated; still, check the lubrication on a regular schedule and relubricate where the design allows. Align the housing and shaft correctly — the insert absorbs some misalignment, but not an excessive amount — and tighten the set screws that lock the insert to the shaft per the manufacturer's instructions so it cannot slip.
UCT housings from different brands generally share standardized dimensions, which eases replacement. Materials, sealing type and insert bearing quality can still differ, so when swapping a unit, confirm the service conditions along with the part number. SKF is a brand we supply, and we can help you match the right option to your application.

- How do I pick the right UCT housing for my shaft?
- Start with the shaft diameter and the loads the unit will carry; the number in the part number corresponds to the shaft diameter. Then factor in the environment to choose the correct sealing.
