Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NU208 -E-XL-TVP2-C3

The FAG NU208 -E-XL-TVP2-C3 cylindrical roller bearing is a separable non-locating bearing with a 40 mm bore, an 80 mm outer diameter and a width of 18 mm.

As a single-row radial roller bearing, the NU208 -E-XL-TVP2-C3 cylindrical roller bearing can accommodate high radial loads. In the NU design, the outer ring has two fixed flanges, whilst the inner ring is flangeless. This allows the inner ring to be removed from both sides and fitted separately. FAG manufactures this version with a polyamide cage and with increased radial clearance (C3) in tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1).

What is the NU208 -E-XL-TVP2-C3 cylindrical roller bearing suitable for in operation?

This bearing is primarily used as a non-locating bearing in shaft mountings. As the inner ring has no flanges, the inner ring and roller set move axially relative to one another when the shaft undergoes thermal length changes. This prevents axial stress in the bearing arrangement. Due to the line contact of the cylindrical rollers, the bearing can accommodate high radial loads; however, by design, it does not transmit any axial forces.

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

The suffix TVP2 denotes a polyamide cage, which ensures low-friction operation and keeps the weight of the rolling element set to a minimum. The permissible temperature range is from –30 to +120 degrees. The C3 clearance class has greater radial clearance than the standard version. This clearance compensates for fit allowances during installation as well as operational temperature differences between the shaft and housing, ensuring that the bearing remains smooth-running during operation.
