Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NUP228 -E-XL-M1-C3

The FAG NUP228 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing is designed as a fixed bearing with a 140 mm bore for high radial loads and axial guidance in both directions.

The FAG NUP228 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing withstands very high radial forces and provides axial guidance for shafts in both directions. Thanks to its NUP design, this single-row roller bearing functions as a fixed bearing in demanding industrial drives. With dimensions of a 140 mm bore, 250 mm outer diameter and 42 mm width, this open bearing offers a dimensionally stable design for mechanical engineering. The component is integrated into housing designs in which a controlled external lubricant supply is provided.

What is the NUP228 -E-XL-M1-C3 cylindrical roller bearing suitable for as a fixed bearing?

This single-row cylindrical roller bearing is particularly suitable for bearing arrangements and industrial drives in which axial forces occur in addition to high radial forces. The fixed flange on the inner ring and the loose flange plate accommodate axial displacement of the shaft and limit movement in both directions. Design engineers utilise this fixed-bearing characteristic to position rotating shafts. Thanks to its solid brass cage, the bearing is also suitable for accelerations and vibration-intensive operating conditions in continuous industrial operation.

What features do the brass cage and the C3 clearance offer?

The -E-XL-M1-C3 variant is characterised by a guided brass cage and a slightly increased radial clearance of class C3. The solid brass cage offers strength with low wear, which proves particularly effective under shock loads. The C3 bearing clearance helps to ensure that the bearing continues to run smoothly even when the shaft or housing components undergo thermal expansion. At operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees, the increased radial clearance compensates for any fit allowances and temperature gradients between the inner and outer rings.
