Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU208 ECP

The SKF NU208 ECP cylindrical roller bearing, a single-row idler bearing (40x80x18 mm), offers high radial load-carrying capacity in a compact design.

The SKF NU208 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is an open, single-row roller bearing with a cylindrical bore for purely radial loads. In the SKF Explorer version, the design features an optimised internal geometry. With dimensions of a 40 mm bore, 80 mm outer diameter and 18 mm width, the bearing can withstand high forces. Thanks to its standard radial clearance, this variant is suitable for common fit conditions in mechanical and plant engineering.

What is the NU208 ECP cylindrical roller bearing suitable for in operation?

This single-row cylindrical roller bearing is primarily used in bearing arrangements where high radial forces act and axial displacement must be compensated for. As a loose bearing of the NU design, the inner ring can be removed from both sides. This allows the component to compensate for thermal length changes in the shaft during operation without any constraint. Typical applications are found in industrial bearing arrangements with high radial loads that require precise shaft guidance and separate ring mounting.

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

The integrated polyamide cage guides the cylindrical rollers quietly and reduces the weight of the rolling element assembly. The permissible operating temperature range is from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius. As the inner ring has no flanges, it can be fitted onto the shaft separately, which simplifies assembly. Please note that the open bearing has no integrated seals and should therefore be lubricated via the housing and protected from dirt.
