Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NU226 -E-XL-M1-C3

The FAG NU226 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing, with dimensions of 130 × 230 × 40 mm, a brass cage and a C3 clearance, offers high radial load-carrying capacity for demanding industrial applications.

This single-row cylindrical roller bearing, the NU226 -E-XL-M1-C3, is characterised by the NU design. The outer ring has two fixed flanges, whilst the inner ring is flangeless and can be removed from both sides. With a bore of 130 mm, an outer diameter of 230 mm and a width of 40 mm, the bearing primarily accommodates high radial loads. As an open rolling bearing without an integrated seal, it is designed for external lubrication systems.

What is the NU226 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing suitable for in operation?

Due to its floating bearing design, this version compensates for axial changes in shaft length directly within the bearing without inducing stress. Typical applications are found in mechanical engineering and in industrial drives subject to high radial loads. The brass cage guides the rolling elements with low vibration. Combined with the permissible temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees, the bearing is suitable for thermally and mechanically demanding environments.

What do a brass cage and C3 clearance mean for your design?

The suffix M1 denotes a solid brass cage designed for high mechanical stresses caused by vibrations or impact loads. The designation C3 indicates an increased radial bearing clearance compared with the standard version. This additional clearance prevents the bearing from becoming stressed should temperature differences or tight fits cause the rings to expand. The standard tolerance P0 ensures defined dimensional accuracy during installation.
