UCFC Round Flange Cartridge Units

EP-UCFC round flange cartridge units provide a circular housing with a flange that locates the bearing around a machine opening. The family includes set-screw, eccentric-locking and adapter-sleeve arrangements in the broader product range.Series selectionDisplay seriesHousing formLocking approachBuyer checkEP-UCFCRound flange cartridgeSet screwShaft diameter, pilot/bolt layout, projectionEP-NAFCRound flange cartridgeEccentric collarRotation direction, shaft fit, mounting envelopeEP-UKFC + adapterRound flange cartridgeAdapter sleeveTapered bore, sleeve reference, mounting spaceWhen replacing an existing cartridge unit, send a front-view dimensioned sketch or clear housing photo with shaft diameter.

Confirm the housing diameter, bolt pattern, pilot / register feature, shaft bore and insert projection. A circular flange does not automatically guarantee concentricity; the machine register and mounting condition control the final alignment.Typical applicationsCommon contexts include screw-conveyor ends, pump / fan auxiliary housings and machinery where a round cartridge form fits the frame. Check how axial location is controlled and whether the surrounding structure supports the flange uniformly.Frequently asked questionsWhen is EP-UCFC preferable to EP-UCF?When the machine face and bolt pattern are designed for a round cartridge housing rather than a square flange.Can EP-UCFC solve shaft misalignment?The insert/housing geometry can accommodate limited housing alignment effects, but it cannot correct severe shaft bend or a poorly machined register.What dimensions should I measure?Shaft bore, housing diameter, mounting bolt pattern, pilot / register and axial envelope.Is EP-UCFC a screw-conveyor-only product?No. It can be used in other face-mounted machinery when the interface and duty match.Related bearing-unit familiesCompare EP-UCF / EP-UCFL for non-circular flange footprints and EP-UCP for base-mounted support.Request a category quoteSend shaft diameter, mounting dimensions, locking method, application, quantity and any drawing or existing part number.
