Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NU240 -E-M1

The FAG NU240 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing, with a 200 mm bore and a robust brass cage, offers a robust solution for high radial forces.

The NU240 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row radial roller bearing of the NU design. Thanks to the line contact between the rollers and raceways, this open roller bearing can accommodate high radial loads. The solid brass cage guides the rolling elements reliably under demanding operating conditions. As the bearing has no integrated seals, lubrication via the surrounding housing is required.

What industrial applications is the NU240 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing suitable for?

This rolling bearing is used in large industrial drives and heavy-duty shaft mountings where very high radial forces act on the bearing assembly. As the inner ring has no flanges, the component functions purely as a non-locating bearing. It compensates for axial changes in shaft length resulting from thermal expansion with low friction within the bearing. Typical areas of application include machine trains with long shafts and varying operating temperatures.

What are the advantages of the brass cage and the separable NU design?

The design suffix M1 denotes a solid brass cage designed to withstand high mechanical loads. Brass is a material that withstands severe vibrations, impacts and high acceleration forces. The NU design also allows the outer ring, together with the roller set, to be fitted separately from the inner ring onto the shaft and housing. This simplifies both installation and subsequent maintenance of the bearing assembly.
