Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NU2234 -E-XL-M1-C3

The FAG NU2234 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing, measuring 170 × 310 × 86 mm, accommodates high radial forces caused by thermal expansion.

This single-row cylindrical roller bearing NU2234 -E-XL-M1-C3 from FAG functions purely as a non-locating bearing for heavy-duty industrial applications. Thanks to the line contact between the cylindrical rollers and the raceways, the design can withstand high radial loads. As the inner ring has no flanges, it can be removed from either side. This allows both bearing rings to be fitted separately and compensates for axial changes in shaft length directly within the bearing without any binding.

In which applications does the NU2234 -E-XL-M1-C3 idler bearing prove its worth?

Typical applications are found in mechanical engineering and in large industrial drives where high radial forces act on the bearing arrangement. Due to its design, the NU type accommodates radial loads only, meaning that the axial guidance of the shaft is provided separately by an additional fixed bearing. The solid brass cage withstands severe vibrations and high acceleration forces, and guides the cylindrical rollers with dimensional stability even at varying speeds.

What are the key features of the cage, bearing clearance and design?

The version with increased radial clearance (C3) helps to ensure that the bearing does not become distorted when heated or when fitted with a tight interference fit. The permissible temperature range is from –30 to +150 degrees Celsius. As the outer ring is designed without a lubrication groove or lubrication bore and the bearing has no integrated seals, the lubricant is supplied directly via the housing. The component complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1.
