UCHE200 Series Hanger Bearing Units
UCHE200 is the hanger option to examine when the machine needs a compact side profile around the suspended bearing position. The catalogue describes a tapped top boss and shows a 12-50 mm published shaft range, making the series particularly relevant to smaller shaft stations.
Although UCHE uses setscrew locking like UCHA, the two families should not be treated as the same housing with a different name. Their published geometry, size coverage and surrounding clearances differ. On a retrofit, the top connection, L/L1 dimensions and shaft centre position should be checked before the bore is ordered.
For a wider housing comparison, browse the bearings range before finalising the mounting style.
Compact hanger geometry for smaller shaft stations
Compact side profile
The housing layout is suited to suspended locations where lateral space around the shaft is limited.
Tapped top boss
The hanger is supported from the upper connection rather than a foot or flange.
12-50 mm shaft range
The series starts at 12 mm and covers smaller bores than the UCHA and UEHA ranges.
Setscrew locking
The insert uses a direct setscrew shaft retention method.
UCHE200 published technical range
The table below keeps the catalogue values used for this series. Use the model-specific drawing for the final interchange decision; dimensions and suffixes can vary inside a family.

UCHE200 measurements that decide fit
Use the product drawing as the final dimensional authority. The points below are practical filters that help narrow the correct model before a full drawing comparison.
Side-profile dimensions can determine whether the housing clears trough walls, covers or nearby drive parts.
Threaded attachment geometry is just as important as bore size in a hanger replacement.
Compare H0/H values with adjacent bearing stations so the shaft is not forced into a bend.
UCHE includes 12, 15 and 17 mm published bores, useful where larger hanger families start at 20 mm.
Where the narrow hanger profile helps
These are application patterns where the housing concept is commonly considered. Final suitability still depends on load, speed, alignment, environment and the machine designer’s requirements.
Compact screw conveyors
Useful where an intermediate hanger has limited room between the shaft and conveyor enclosure.
Small process machines
The lower shaft-size range suits lighter rotating assemblies that still need overhead support.
Feed and dosing equipment
A tapped-top hanger can be built into narrow frames where floor-mounted bearing blocks are impractical.
Custom suspended rollers
The compact body can support purpose-built roller or shaft modules with an upper mounting point.
Maintaining a compact suspended bearing station
Damage to the hanger connection can turn a correct replacement into an alignment problem.
Small enclosed stations often trap dust or product around the bearing.
The shaft should turn freely through connected supports before final shaft retention.
A correctly fitted bearing can still contact nearby sheet metal if the wrong housing profile was selected.
Choosing between UCHE and UCHA
UCHE200 is distinguished by its compact housing profile and 12-50 mm size coverage. UCHA200 is the broader setscrew hanger family from 20-65 mm. UEHA200 changes the shaft locking system to concentric retention. Use the drawing, not only the bore, to select among them.
Send the machine details for a model check
For UCHE200, send the existing model marking, shaft diameter, mounting dimensions and a photo of the bearing position. GBC can review the information against the published series before quotation. Email: sales@australia-drive.com.
