Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG N218 -E-XL-TVP2

The FAG N218 -E-XL-TVP2 cylindrical roller bearing, a single-row idler bearing measuring 90 × 160 × 30 mm, withstands high radial loads.

The N218 -E-XL-TVP2 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row radial roller bearing from FAG designed for mechanical applications. With a bore of 90 mm, an outside diameter of 160 mm and a width of 30 mm, this design transmits significant radial loads thanks to the line contact of the rollers. As an open roller bearing without sealing rings, it is suitable for housing-lubricated bearing arrangements and allows unhindered access of lubricant to the raceways.

When is the N218 -E-XL-TVP2 cylindrical roller bearing used?

This rolling bearing accommodates high radial loads and directly compensates for axial length changes in the shaft. The N design is constructed as a pure non-locating bearing: the inner ring guides the cylindrical rollers between two fixed flanges, whilst the outer ring is flangeless and removable from both sides.

This design allows axial displacement between the shaft and housing to occur freely and directly within the bearing. Typical applications include shaft mountings where operational thermal expansion must be compensated for.

What are the key features of the version with the TVP2 polyamide cage?

The TVP2 polyamide cage guides the cylindrical rollers with low friction and reduces the total weight of the moving parts. Thanks to the elastic behaviour of the material, the plastic cage dampens shock loads, which contributes to smooth bearing operation.

The permissible temperature range for use is from -30 to +120 degrees Celsius. Manufactured to the standard tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1 and with standard radial clearance, this bearing can be integrated precisely into existing designs.
