Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU216 ECM

The SKF NU216 ECM cylindrical roller bearing, as an open idler bearing measuring 80x140x26 mm, accommodates high radial forces.

This single-row NU216 ECM cylindrical roller bearing features a solid brass cage and is characterised by its separable NU design. As the inner ring has no flanges and can be removed from both sides, the design compensates for axial length changes in the shaft directly within the bearing. This open-type bearing is designed for an operating temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees. It is manufactured to a dimensional accuracy of P0/PN (ABEC 1) and an enhanced running accuracy of tolerance class P6 (ABEC 3).

For which operating conditions is the NU216 ECM cylindrical roller bearing suitable?

Due to the line contact between the cylindrical rollers and the raceways, this design accommodates high radial loads in industrial bearing applications. As a floating bearing, the NU design prevents mechanical stress caused by thermal length changes in the shaft during operation. The P6 running accuracy ensures precise concentricity under demanding speed requirements in both stationary and mobile applications.

What are the distinctive features of the brass cage in this NU design?

The solid brass cage guides the cylindrical rollers precisely and is suitable for bearing arrangements subject to vibrations and shock loads. The material retains its dimensional stability across the entire temperature range from -30 to +150 degrees. As the outer ring is designed without a groove or lubrication bore, the bearing assembly requires a seal on the housing side as well as a lubricant supply directly into the bearing interior.
