Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NUP206 ECP

The SKF NUP206 ECP cylindrical roller bearing, measuring 30x62x16 mm, offers a compact, fixed-type bearing solution for high radial loads and axial guidance on both sides.

This single-row NUP206 ECP cylindrical roller bearing in the SKF Explorer design features an optimised internal construction and a lightweight polyamide cage. The open roller bearing has a bore of 30 mm, an outside diameter of 62 mm and a width of 16 mm. Thanks to its standard radial clearance, the bearing is suitable for standard fits in industrial machinery, where precise concentricity is required under continuous radial loading.

What is the NUP206 ECP cylindrical roller bearing suitable for in operation?

Design engineers and maintenance personnel use this design primarily in shaft mountings where precise axial fixation is required. As cylindrical rollers provide line contact, they can accommodate high radial forces. The NUP design acts as a fixed bearing, which, in addition to the main radial forces, also absorbs alternating axial forces in both directions and holds the shaft in position axially.

What function does the NUP design fulfil as a fixed bearing?

Unlike floating bearings, the NUP design features two fixed flanges on the outer ring and one fixed flange and one loose flange disc on the inner ring. This geometry secures the shaft against axial displacement on both sides. The integrated polyamide cage contributes to smooth roller operation. When designing the bearing, the permissible operating temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees must be taken into account, and an appropriate lubrication supply must be ensured for the open design.
