Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NU202 -E-XL-TVP2-C3

The FAG NU202 -E-XL-TVP2-C3 cylindrical roller bearing, as a single-row idler bearing, combines a radial load capacity of 15 × 35 × 11 mm with C3 clearance and a polyamide cage.

The NU202 -E-XL-TVP2-C3 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row radial roller bearing from FAG for industrial applications. With a bore of 15 mm, an outer diameter of 35 mm and a width of 11 mm, the component is primarily designed to withstand high radial loads. The open design without an integrated seal is suitable for use in oil- or grease-lubricated systems. Thanks to its manufacture to tolerance class P0/PN (corresponding to ABEC 1), this roller bearing fits into standardised housing and shaft fits.

What is the NU202 -E-XL-TVP2-C3 cylindrical roller bearing suitable for in practice?

Design engineers and maintenance technicians primarily use this design as a conventional non-locating bearing. As the outer ring has solid flanges and the inner ring is flangeless, the inner ring can be removed from either side. This feature allows axial shaft expansion to be compensated for directly within the bearing. Typical applications include shaft mountings where thermal length changes in the shaft occur. Thanks to the line contact of the cylindrical rollers, the component can withstand high radial forces.

What are the advantages of the polyamide cage and the C3 clearance?

The designation TVP2 stands for a polyamide cage that guides the cylindrical rollers. This plastic cage reduces the weight of the rolling element guide and ensures low-vibration operation within a temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. The increased radial clearance (C3) provides additional leeway: it helps to prevent premature stress build-up in the rolling elements when tight fits are used on the shaft and housing, or when temperature differences arise between the inner and outer rings during operation.
