Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NU2211 -E-XL-TVP2-C3

The FAG NU2211 -E-XL-TVP2-C3 cylindrical roller bearing, measuring 55x100x25 mm, provides a heavy-duty floating support with increased C3 radial clearance.

The NU2211 -E-XL-TVP2-C3 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row roller bearing from FAG designed to withstand high radial loads. With a bore of 55 mm, an outer diameter of 100 mm and a width of 25 mm, the cylindrical rollers support high loads via line contact. The NU design serves as a pure idler bearing, in which the inner ring can be removed from both sides. This allows the unit to compensate for axial shaft displacement directly within the bearing without any positive locking.

In which installation scenarios does the NU2211 -E-XL-TVP2-C3 cylindrical roller bearing prove its worth?

Design engineers use this rolling bearing in bearing arrangements that are subjected to high radial forces and must compensate for axial changes in shaft length. Typical applications include bearing arrangements involving temperature-induced shaft expansion. As the inner ring has no flanges, the shaft moves freely axially within the bearing. In combination with a separate fixed bearing, this design helps to prevent damaging constraint forces.

What is the function of the polyamide cage and the C3 clearance in the NU2211?

The suffix TVP2 denotes a polyamide cage. The material is characterised by its low weight, dampens running noise and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +120 degrees. The designation C3 indicates a slightly increased radial bearing clearance above the standard P0/PN tolerance. This additional clearance helps to prevent the bearing from seizing up due to thermal expansion or tight fits. As an open bearing, this design requires external sealing.
