Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NJ228 -E-XL-M1-C3

The FAG NJ228 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing, measuring 140 x 250 x 42 mm, offers high radial load-carrying capacity and axial guidance thanks to its brass cage.

The NJ228 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row radial roller bearing from FAG designed for heavy-duty industrial applications. It has a bore of 140 mm, an outside diameter of 250 mm and a width of 42 mm. Designed as an open bearing, it can be integrated directly into existing lubrication systems. The version with a brass cage ensures precise guidance of the cylindrical rollers, even under demanding operating conditions.

What is the NJ228 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing suitable for?

This cylindrical roller bearing is primarily used in bearing arrangements where high radial forces must be accommodated. Thanks to the NJ design, the unit functions as a support bearing: the inner ring has a fixed flange, which allows axial forces to be accommodated in one direction. At the same time, the design compensates for thermal length changes in the shaft in the opposite direction without constraint, thereby preventing stress build-up in the shaft assembly.

What advantages do the brass cage and C3 radial clearance offer in this design?

The combination of a solid brass cage and increased C3 radial clearance is designed for bearing arrangements subject to thermal and mechanical stresses. The brass cage withstands impact loads and high acceleration forces. The C3 bearing clearance compensates for temperature-induced expansion within an operating range of -30 to +150 degrees. As the inner ring can be removed from one side, the separate assembly of both bearing rings is particularly cost-effective and easy to handle.
