Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU2205 ECP/C3

The SKF NU2205 ECP/C3 cylindrical roller bearing, with dimensions of 25x52x18 mm and a C3 clearance, offers high radial load-carrying capacity when used as a non-locating bearing.

The SKF NU2205 ECP/C3 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row radial roller bearing with a bore diameter of 25 mm, an outer diameter of 52 mm and a width of 18 mm. Thanks to its optimised internal design, the roller arrangement can accommodate high radial loads. The inner ring has no flanges and can be removed from either side for easy installation. As this is an open bearing without integrated seals, it can be flexibly integrated into existing lubrication systems.

In which assemblies does the NU2205 ECP/C3 cylindrical roller bearing prove its worth?

Typical applications include industrial shaft bearings where high transverse forces primarily act on the bearing system. As a floating bearing, the NU design compensates for operational length changes in the shaft directly within the bearing. The inner ring moves axially relative to the outer ring without restriction, without causing unwanted stresses in the adjacent structure. The bearing is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +120 degrees.

What are the advantages of the C3 bearing clearance and the polyamide cage?

Two design features characterise this variant: the polyamide cage guides the cylindrical rollers with low friction and promotes quiet running. The slightly increased C3 radial clearance helps to ensure that tight fits on the shaft or housing do not unduly restrict the operating clearance. The free movement of the rollers is maintained even in the event of thermal expansion during continuous operation. The outer ring has no groove or lubrication bore, which simplifies the housing design.
