Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU318 ECP

The SKF NU318 ECP cylindrical roller bearing offers high radial load-carrying capacity with dimensions of 90 × 190 × 43 mm as a separable loose bearing.

The NU318 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row rolling bearing in the SKF Explorer performance class with an optimised internal design. The open bearing design is suitable for applications that primarily need to transmit high radial forces. With a bore of 90 mm, an outer diameter of 190 mm and a width of 43 mm, this component serves as a robust bearing unit. The polyamide cage guides the cylindrical rollers and contributes to smooth running.

What is the NU318 ECP cylindrical roller bearing suitable for in operation?

This cylindrical roller bearing is suitable for applications where high radial loads must be supported at medium to high speeds. Due to the NU design, the inner ring has no flanges and can be removed from both sides. This allows the bearing to accommodate axial length changes of the shaft relative to the housing without constraint within the bearing. The component thus functions purely as a non-locating bearing in the mechanical drivetrain.

What are the advantages of the polyamide cage and the Explorer design?

The suffix ECP denotes the optimised internal design in combination with a polyamide cage. This cage is characterised by its low weight and good damping properties. In terms of dimensional accuracy, the bearing complies with tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1, whilst its running accuracy meets tolerance class P6 or ABEC 3. The permissible temperature range is from -30 to +120 degrees Celsius. As this is an open bearing, suitable external sealing and lubrication must be provided.
