K/U Silver Series Bearing Units
K/U is a series-specific series configured around silver series bearing units. Its catalogue definition uses setscrew / eccentric locking, with individual bore and dimensional variants retained in one model table.
Series Overview
This series is organized as one catalogue-level product family rather than one product per bore size. That keeps RFQ work focused on the mounting form and locking method first, while the dimensional table remains available for the final unit selection.
This series sits within the wider bearing catalogue. Use the bearing index when comparing another housing format, then return here to verify the selected series drawing and dimensions. Browse related bearing families.
Series-Level Selection
K/U is treated as one catalogue series, with individual unit numbers retained inside the dimensional table.
Mounting Form
The primary configuration is silver series bearing units, intended for compact mounted bearing support for light and general machinery.
Locking Logic
The catalogue identifies setscrew / eccentric locking for this series; confirm the exact row before ordering.
Technical Specifications
Use these identifiers as the first selection gate. They capture the catalogue family, duty, locking and mounting form, while the numerical model rows remain grouped in the source table below.

Engineering Drawing
When replacing an installed unit, use the outline drawing as a dimensional fingerprint. Match the fixed machine dimensions before relying on a partially legible model code or a visually similar housing.
Applications
Small conveyors
K/U is relevant when small conveyors requires this housing format; verify shaft geometry, mounting interface, operating conditions and environment before final selection.
Compact machinery
For compact machinery, this series provides the catalogue mounting form shown above. Confirm load, speed, shaft dimensions and service environment for the chosen model.
Light-duty rotating assemblies
K/U is relevant when light-duty rotating assemblies requires this housing format; verify shaft geometry, mounting interface, operating conditions and environment before final selection.
Catalogue Dimensional Data
The original model table is shown at high resolution so metric and inch unit numbers remain attached to the correct drawing-letter dimensions. Select the row visually and confirm it again in the RFQ.
Selection & Integration
Where several series share a similar housing silhouette, the deciding details are usually locking method, duty class and one or two mounting dimensions. Verify those before comparing the remaining model rows. In this family, the intended role is compact mounted bearing support for light and general machinery.
| Step | Information To Confirm |
|---|---|
| 1 | shaft diameter |
| 2 | housing footprint |
| 3 | locking method |
| 4 | clearance around the unit |
The supplied catalogue is used here as the technical selection reference. Final quotation review should confirm the exact model, shaft size, mounting interface and any environment-specific requirement.
RFQ Support
Confirm The Exact K/U Configuration
Send the current bearing designation and quantity if available. For a new design, provide shaft size and mounting geometry so the family can be checked before a specific unit number is proposed. Ever Power Netherlands Branch can review the quotation basis against the same reference.
