Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NJ2218 -E-XL-M1-C3

The FAG NJ2218 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing, measuring 90x160x40 mm, offers high radial load-carrying capacity and single-sided axial guidance.

The NJ2218 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row radial roller bearing from FAG designed for demanding industrial applications. Thanks to the line contact of the cylindrical rollers, this design can withstand very high radial loads. In the NJ version, the bearing has two fixed flanges on the outer ring and one fixed flange on the inner ring. This makes it suitable as a support bearing that guides shafts in one axial direction, whilst allowing axial displacement in the opposite direction.

What is the NJ2218 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing suitable for?

This single-row cylindrical roller bearing is primarily used where heavy radial loads act on the shaft and, at the same time, defined axial guidance is required. Typical applications are found in industrial bearing arrangements subject to combined radial and axial forces. Thanks to its solid brass cage, the bearing can withstand even severe vibrations and high acceleration forces. The inner ring can be removed from one side, which facilitates the separate installation of the inner and outer rings in the housing or on the shaft.

What advantages do the brass cage and C3 clearance offer with this bearing?

The combination of the brass cage and the slightly increased radial clearance (C3) provides greater flexibility under demanding operating conditions. The increased clearance compensates for thermal expansion caused by temperature differences between the shaft and the housing, as well as the radial oversize of tight fits. For operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees, this design therefore provides sufficient operating clearance. As an open bearing without an integrated seal, the component can be flexibly integrated into existing oil or grease lubrication systems.
