The Link-Belt W218UL is a mounted-bearing insert designed around a 1-1/8 inch shaft bore while using a larger 206-series-style outer body.

The main dimensional envelope is:

Bore Diameter: 1.1250 in / 28.575 mm

Outside Diameter: 2.4409 in / 62.00 mm

Outer Ring Width: 0.7087 in / approximately 18.00 mm

The bearing incorporates a spherical outer ring, allowing it to seat inside a compatible spherical housing and accommodate limited initial shaft-to-housing misalignment.

The shaft-locking system uses an:

Eccentric Cam Locking Collar

This design locks the bearing to the shaft by rotating the collar relative to the eccentric extension of the inner ring, creating a wedging action that secures the assembly.

⚙️ Applications

Brand: Link-Belt / Rexnord

Model / Bearing Number: W218UL

Product Type: Insert Ball Bearing

Body Family: 206-Size Insert Bearing

Bore Diameter (d): 1-1/8 in / 1.1250 in / 28.575 mm

Outside Diameter (D): 2.4409 in / 62.00 mm

Outer Ring Width: 0.7087 in / approx. 18.00 mm

Rolling Element: Ball

Number of Rows: 1

Outer Ring: Spherical OD

Inner Ring: Extended / eccentric-lock configuration

Locking Method: Eccentric Cam Locking Collar

Seal Type: Factory-sealed bearing; exact seal construction should be verified from the original W218UL specification or physical bearing

Lubrication: Factory-lubricated insert-bearing configuration

Relubrication: Verify exact W218UL execution

Internal Clearance: Manufacturer-specific

Cage: Verify original Link-Belt construction

Load Capability: Primarily radial load with moderate axial-load capability depending on mounted-bearing arrangement

Speed Rating: Verify original Link-Belt specification

Shaft Fit: Nominal 1-1/8 in shaft

Housing Fit: Must match a compatible spherical-seat 206-size housing

Installation Consideration: Seat the insert correctly in the housing, align the shaft, rotate the eccentric collar in the locking direction, secure the collar, and verify shaft/housing alignment before operation

🔁 Equivalent

Suitable replacement or cross-reference candidates include:

• Link-Belt W218UL
• SKF YET206-102W
• NTN AEL206-102
• ASAHI SA206-18
• SA206-18
• Sealmaster L-18E
• 1-1/8 in Bore Eccentric Lock Insert Bearing
• 28.575 mm Bore Insert Bearing
• 62 mm OD Insert Bearing
• 206-Series Eccentric Lock Bearing

Cross-Reference Comparison

These are strong cross-reference candidates within the same general 1-1/8 in bore / 62 mm spherical OD eccentric-lock insert-bearing class.

However, direct replacement should still be checked for:

• Overall width
• Inner-ring width
• Spherical OD radius
• Eccentric collar geometry
• Seal type
• Lubrication
• Internal clearance
• Housing compatibility
• Maximum speed
• Shaft rotation direction

Important Note: W218UL vs W218EL

Some of the supplied reference data is listed under W218EL / WB218EL, while the requested product is W218UL.

Therefore, the dimensional relationship is useful, but the suffixes UL and EL should not automatically be treated as identical without confirming the original Link-Belt designation.

For the product page, the safest approach is:

Use W218UL as the primary SKU and retain W218EL / WB218EL only as supporting cross-reference or related-series references where confirmed.

W216UL vs W218UL

The W218UL is therefore a physically larger insert bearing and should not be treated as interchangeable with W216UL.

(Always verify the complete W218UL width, seal execution, collar geometry, and housing before selecting SKF, NTN, ASAHI, Sealmaster, or another replacement.)
