Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NUP218 -E-M1

The FAG NUP218 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row fixed bearing that combines high radial load-carrying capacity with double-sided axial shaft guidance in the 90x160x30 mm size.

The NUP218 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row radial roller bearing designed for demanding industrial applications. The bearing is manufactured by FAG Wälzlager and has a bore of 90 mm, an outer diameter of 160 mm and a width of 30 mm. Thanks to the line contact of the cylindrical rollers, this design can withstand very high radial forces. Designed as an open bearing, it can be flexibly integrated into existing lubrication circuits using oil or grease.

What is the NUP218 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing suitable for in operation?

Design engineers primarily use this cylindrical roller bearing in mechanical drive trains and bearing arrangements subject to combined loads. The NUP design functions as a fixed bearing: it guides the shaft axially in both directions whilst simultaneously supporting heavy radial loads. Thanks to the brass cage, the roller bearing withstands high accelerations, shock loads and vibrations. The permissible temperature range extends from –30 to +150 degrees, thus covering a wide range of thermal operating conditions in mechanical engineering.

What are the advantages of the NUP design and the brass cage?

The NUP design features two fixed flanges on the outer ring, as well as one fixed flange and one loose flange disc on the inner ring. This enables the bearing assembly to accommodate axial forces of varying directions without the need for a separate thrust bearing. The integrated brass cage guides the rollers evenly and offers favourable emergency running characteristics in the event of insufficient lubrication. The bearing complies with tolerance class P0/PN (ABEC 1) and has standard radial clearance for regular fit conditions on the shaft and housing.
