Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NJ2232 -E-XL-M1-C3

The FAG NJ2232 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing, a single-row support bearing measuring 160 × 290 × 80 mm, offers high radial load-carrying capacity and axial guidance in one direction.

The NJ2232 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing is an open, single-row roller bearing from FAG designed for industrial bearing applications. With a bore of 160 mm, an outside diameter of 290 mm and a width of 80 mm, this unit can withstand high radial forces. The component complies with tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1) and features a brass cage that guides the cylindrical rollers. The permissible temperature range is from -30 to +150 degrees.

What is the NJ2232 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing suitable for in operation?

This rolling bearing acts as a support bearing, providing radial support for shafts and limiting axial displacement in one direction. Typical applications include bearing arrangements subject to high radial forces and axial loads acting on one side only. The outer ring is designed without a lubrication bore or groove, so that lubricant is supplied via the surrounding housing structure. The inner ring, which can be removed from one side, allows the open bearing to be handled reliably during installation and maintenance.

What is the function of the brass cage and the C3 bearing clearance in this design?

The C3 designation indicates a slightly increased radial clearance compared with the standard version. This increased clearance between the rollers and the raceway compensates for thermal expansion at operating temperatures up to +150 degrees, as well as for fit allowances during installation. The brass cage withstands dynamic forces and vibrations, which supports operation under continuous radial loads.
