Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NUP218 ECP

The SKF NUP218 ECP single-row cylindrical roller bearing (90x160x30 mm) serves as a fixed bearing designed to accommodate high radial forces and axial loads in both directions.

The SKF NUP218 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is characterised by its optimised internal design in the Explorer version. As a single-row roller bearing with a bore of 90 mm, an outer diameter of 160 mm and a width of 30 mm, it is primarily designed to accommodate heavy radial loads. The integrated polyamide cage guides the cylindrical rollers with low noise and low friction. Thanks to its open design without a seal, the bearing can be integrated directly into existing lubrication circuits.

What industrial applications is the NUP218 ECP cylindrical roller bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is used in rotating industrial applications involving combined radial and axial loads. By design, the cylindrical roller configuration supports radial forces and, thanks to the NUP design, simultaneously withstands axial forces on both sides. Maintenance engineers and designers use this bearing for shaft guides where precise axial positioning is required. The permissible temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees enables operation in thermally demanding working environments within general mechanical engineering.

What advantages does the NUP design with a polyamide cage offer when making a selection?

The NUP design features two fixed flanges on the outer ring, as well as one fixed flange and one loose flange disc on the inner ring. As a result, this design functions as a fixed bearing and guides the shaft in both axial directions. The polyamide cage reduces the weight of the rolling element set and promotes smooth running. With standard radial clearance and a running accuracy of tolerance class P6, this model meets precise requirements for concentricity and dimensional accuracy.
