Product Description
The UCP212-60MM is a standard duty Grey Cast Iron Pillow Block Bearing Unit from the UCP200 series, designed for a 60mm metric bore shaft. It combines a robust grey cast iron housing with an anti-rotation device, self-alignment capability (typically ±2–3°), and a UC212-60MM chrome steel insert bearing (AISI 52100 / GCr15) featuring a slinger double-seal design and two set screw shaft locking mechanism.
With a dynamic load rating of Cr ≈ 47.8–52.7 kN and static load rating of Cor ≈ 33.0–36.2 kN — confirmed across three independent sources including Maedler North America, an official UCP212 technical specification document, and VXB — and a limiting speed of approximately 2,800 r/min, the UCP212-60MM delivers reliable radial load capacity for 60mm metric shaft applications across European, Asian, and global industrial machinery. At ≈4.80 kg (10.6 lbs), it is notably lighter than the UCP213/UCP214 series, making it ideal for weight-sensitive or space-constrained installations.
The standard grease fitting (Zerk fitting) allows for in-service relubrication without disassembly, extending service life in demanding environments. The grey cast iron housing provides excellent rigidity and vibration damping, while the self-aligning insert bearing design compensates for shaft misalignment caused by thermal expansion, structural deflection, or imperfect installation. The non-expansion (fixed) design provides positive axial shaft positioning, making it ideal as the fixed (locating) bearing in paired shaft installations.

✅ 60mm Metric Bore — Standard European/Asian Industrial Shaft Size — The 60mm bore is a widely standardized metric shaft diameter in European, Asian, and global industrial machinery; the "-60MM" suffix clearly designates the metric bore, distinguishing it from any inch-bore UCP212 variants sharing the same housing
✅ Cr≈47.8–52.7kN / Cor≈33.0–36.2kN — Three Independent Sources Confirmed — Load capacity confirmed by Maedler North America (47.8kN / 33.0kN), official UCP212 technical document (52.7kN / 36kN), and VXB UC212 insert data (52.4kN / 36.2kN) — three separate sources with closely grouped values providing high data confidence
✅ ≈2,800 r/min Limiting Speed — Higher than UCP213 (2,350 rpm) and UCP214 (2,450 rpm) series, reflecting the smaller bore and lighter rotating mass of the UCP212 series — ideal for moderate-to-higher-speed 60mm shaft applications
✅ Lighter & More Compact than UCP213/UCP214 — At ≈4.80 kg and 241×138.1mm footprint, the UCP212-60MM is significantly lighter and more compact than UCP213-65MM (≈6.5kg, 265×150mm) and UCP214 series (266×156.4mm), making it the preferred choice for weight-sensitive or space-constrained installations
✅ M16/5/8" Bolt Size — One size smaller than UCP213/UCP214 (M20/3/4"), consistent with the lighter UCP212 housing design; important for installation planning and bolt stock management
✅ Non-Expansion (Fixed) Design — Provides positive axial shaft positioning; ideal as the fixed (locating) bearing point in paired bearing shaft installations, preventing axial shaft float
✅ Grey Cast Iron Housing with Anti-Rotation Device — Robust grey cast iron housing provides excellent vibration damping and structural integrity; anti-rotation pin prevents insert bearing rotation within housing under shock loads
✅ Self-Aligning Design (±2–3°) — Compensates for shaft misalignment, reducing bearing stress and extending service life in imperfectly aligned shaft installations
✅ Double Sealed + Slinger Seal — Triple-layer sealing system provides superior protection against dust, dirt, moisture, and contaminants in harsh outdoor and industrial environments
✅ Two Set Screw Locking — Dual set screws in the wide inner ring provide positive shaft locking and prevent axial displacement under heavy loads and vibration
✅ Standard Grease Fitting (Zerk) — Allows convenient in-service relubrication without disassembly, critical for extended maintenance intervals in remote or hard-to-access installations
✅ Wide Inner Ring (Bi=65.1mm / 2.563 in) — Extended inner ring width provides greater shaft contact area, improving set screw grip and reducing shaft fretting
✅ Wide Interchange List (8+ Brands) — Directly interchangeable with SKF UCP212, DODGE P2B-SC-60M, LINK-BELT P3-U2M60N, AMI/ASAHI UCP212-60, PEER UCP212-60MM, NTN UCP212-60D1, BROWNING VPS-60M, FARNIR YAS 60, and Seal Master NP-212
✅ AISI 52100 / GCr15 Chrome Steel Insert — Premium chrome steel insert bearing with HRC 60–64 hardness for exceptional wear resistance and fatigue life
Based on the UCP212-60MM's 60mm metric bore, Cr≈47.8–52.7kN, ≈2,800rpm limiting speed, double-sealed cast iron housing, self-aligning non-expansion design, and lightweight ≈4.80kg:

⚠️ Critical Selection Note: The UCP212-60MM uses a smaller UCP212 housing (138.1mm width, M16 bolts) compared to the UCP213 series (150mm width, M20 bolts). Despite the bore sizes being relatively close (60mm vs 63.5mm vs 65mm), these three models use completely different housings and are NOT interchangeable. Always confirm both bore diameter AND housing series when ordering. The UCP212-60MM's higher limiting speed (≈2,800 rpm) and lighter weight (≈4.80 kg) make it the preferred choice when shaft speed is higher or installation weight is a concern.

Key Series Insights:The "-60MM" suffix explicitly designates a 60mm metric bore on the UCP212 housing — a standard shaft size widely used in European and Asian industrial machinery The UCP212-60MM shares its exact UCP212 housing with UCP212-39 (2-7/16" inch bore), making it easy to stock one housing type while offering two bore insert bearings for metric (60mm) and inch (61.9mm) shaft standards Three independent sources (Maedler, official technical document, VXB) all confirm Cr in the 47.8–52.7kN range and Cor in the 33.0–36.2kN range — closely grouped values providing high data confidence The ≈2,800 r/min limiting speed is the highest in the UCP212–UCP215 range, reflecting the smaller bore and lighter rotating mass — making UCP212-60MM the best choice when shaft speed exceeds 2,350–2,450 rpmThe M16/5/8" bolt size is a key distinguishing feature from UCP213 and above (M20/3/4"), important for installation planning and bolt stock management The non-expansion (fixed) design makes UCP212-60MM particularly suitable as the fixed locating bearing in dual-bearing shaft installations
