1. A bearing unit, comprising:
a radially outer ring comprising a radially outer spherical surface with a convex shape;
a radially inner ring configured to be mounted on a rotating or oscillating shaft;
a plurality of rolling bodies interposed between the radially outer ring and the radially inner ring to allow the relative rotation of the radially outer ring and inner ring; and
a locking system comprising:
exactly two threaded through holes formed in the radially inner ring, one of each of the two threaded through holes formed on respective opposite bands of the radially inner ring with respect to the radially outer ring and with respect to the plurality of rolling bodies; and
a respective grub screw for each threaded through hole and configured to lock the radially inner ring on the rotating or oscillating shaft;
wherein the radially inner ring is divided, with respect to an axis of symmetry (Y) of the plurality of rolling bodies, into two cylindrical portions forming a unitary piece projecting outside the radially outer ring, from opposite bands of the radially outer ring itself; wherein the two cylindrical portions have an equal axial dimension (A) and each of the two cylindrical portions is provided with one of the threaded through hole.
