Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU2226 ECP

The SKF NU2226 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row non-locating bearing with a polyamide cage, designed for high radial loads with a shaft diameter of 130 mm.

As a single-row cylindrical roller bearing, the SKF NU2226 ECP can accommodate very high radial forces. With dimensions of 130 mm bore, 230 mm outer diameter and 64 mm width, this design offers a high radial load capacity. In the Explorer version, the bearing features an optimised internal design. The inner ring can be removed from both sides, which facilitates the separate assembly of the inner and outer rings.

What industrial applications is the NU2226 ECP cylindrical roller bearing suitable for?

This cylindrical roller bearing is particularly suitable for bearing arrangements that must accommodate heavy radial loads and compensate for changes in shaft length. The NU design functions purely as a non-locating bearing: the outer ring has two fixed flanges, whilst the flangeless inner ring allows axial displacement of the shaft within the bearing without restriction. It is primarily used in industrial drives and heavy machinery bearings subject to high transverse forces.

What features do the polyamide cage and free-end design offer in the NU2226 ECP?

The suffix ‘ECP’ denotes a lightweight polyamide cage, which keeps friction to a minimum and enhances acceleration performance. The permissible operating temperature range is from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. Dimensional accuracy complies with Class P0 or ABEC 1, whilst running accuracy is manufactured to P6 or ABEC 3. As the outer ring is designed without a groove or lubrication bore, lubrication and sealing are provided by the surrounding housing structure.
