SA201 interchange
SA201 is an eccentric-collar insert bearing. SA inserts are made to common catalogue sizes and lock to the shaft with an eccentric collar instead of set screws in the inner ring. Check the dimensions above against your shaft and housing, or send us the old part number and we confirm the match.
Brand names are trademarks of their respective owners. FULI is not affiliated with, authorized by or endorsed by these companies. Part numbers are shown for interchange reference only. FULI dimensions, load ratings and speeds come from the FULI catalog.
SA201 compared with nearby sizes and housings
SA201 is an eccentric-collar insert for a 12 mm shaft: outside diameter 40 mm, inner ring width 19.1 mm and outer ring width 12 mm. Across the inner ring and collar together it measures 28.6 mm (B1).
Other inserts with the same size code are UC201 (12 × 47 × 31 mm) and SB201 (12 × 40 × 22 mm).
SA202 is the next larger size in the same series on this site: shaft d 15 mm (3 mm more), outside diameter D 40 mm (the same) and inner ring width B 19.1 mm (the same).

SA201 load ratings
FULI's catalog has no load rating line for SA201 itself, so none is given here. Ask us and we send the figures with the quotation.
SA201 dimensions in inches
The nearest common inch shaft size to the 12 mm bore of SA201 is 1/2 in (12.70 mm), 0.7 mm larger than the bore, so SA201 will not go on it. An inch shaft needs an inch bore insert. Inch bore versions are made for some sizes; ask us with the shaft size.
| Dimension | Millimetres | Inches |
|---|---|---|
| Bore d | 12 mm | 0.4724 in |
| Outside diameter D | 40 mm | 1.5748 in |
| Inner ring width B | 19.1 mm | 0.7520 in |
| Width across collar B1 | 28.6 mm | 1.1260 in |
| Outer ring width C | 12 mm | 0.4724 in |
Converted at 1 in = 25.4 mm and rounded to four decimals. The bearing itself is made to the millimetre sizes.
Mounting SA201 (general guidance)
General guidance, not a FULI specification: insert bearings slide onto the shaft rather than being pressed on, and are held by their locking device. A shaft ground or drawn to h7 is common; a closer shaft such as js7 or j7 suits higher speed.
SA201 is locked by its eccentric collar: slide the bearing into place, turn the collar on the extended inner ring in the direction the shaft turns until it grips, then tighten the collar screw. Because the collar locks by turning, SA inserts are normally used on shafts that turn one way.
The spherical outside diameter of SA201 lets the insert swivel in the housing seat while it is being mounted, which takes up small errors in shaft line. It does not make the bearing a self-aligning bearing in service.
Grease for SA201
The insert is sealed on both sides and greased at the factory. Fitted in a housing with a grease fitting, it can be relubricated through the housing; on its own it runs on the factory fill.
Greases for a stated temperature range can be specified on the order; for North America a range of −40 to 120 °C is often asked for.
How FULI supplies SA201
FULI supplies SA201 on its own as a replacement insert, or fitted in a housing as a complete unit. The rings and balls are GCr15 chrome steel and the radial clearance is C0 as standard, with C3 on request.
Rings are marked with a brand you are authorised to use, with the FULI brand, or left neutral, as your order states. The box is printed with the model, precision class and brand.
Inquiries that leave out the prefix or suffix letters are the usual cause of a wrong quote, so write the full designation, for example SA201.

FAQ
What shaft size does SA201 fit?
A 12 mm shaft (0.4724 in).
What is the difference between SA201 and SA202?
SA202 is the next size up, for a 15 mm shaft, with outside diameter D 40 mm (the same) and inner ring width B 19.1 mm (the same). Choose SA202 when the shaft is larger or the load is higher; the housings are not interchangeable.
What is the difference between SA201 and UC201?
Both fit a 12 mm shaft with a 40 mm outside diameter. SA201 has an inner ring 19.1 mm wide and UC201 31 mm. SA201 locks with an eccentric collar; UC201 with set screws. Check that the narrower or wider ring clears the housing and the parts beside it on the shaft.
Can SA201 be ordered on its own?
Yes. SA201 is quoted as an insert bearing on its own, with its eccentric locking collar. Tell us the housing or machine it goes into and we check the fit before quoting.
How is SA201 locked to the shaft?
Slide the bearing onto the shaft, turn the eccentric collar on the extended inner ring in the direction of shaft rotation until it grips, then tighten the set screw in the collar.
Where are the load ratings for SA201?
Load ratings for SA201 are being checked against FULI's catalog and are not shown on this page yet. Model pages with a "Load ratings & speed" table carry values from FULI's catalog.
