Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NUP2218 ECP

The SKF NUP2218 ECP single-row cylindrical roller bearing, measuring 90x160x40 mm, serves as a fixed bearing designed to accommodate high radial loads and provide axial guidance on both sides.

The NUP2218 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is an open rolling bearing in the SKF Explorer design with an optimised internal construction. This design features a 90 mm cylindrical bore, an outer diameter of 160 mm and a width of 40 mm. Typical applications are found in mechanical engineering for shaft mountings subject to high radial loads. Thanks to its cylindrical rollers, the bearing transmits high radial forces whilst maintaining stable guidance.

What is the NUP2218 ECP cylindrical roller bearing suitable for as a fixed bearing?

Design engineers primarily use this design where shafts need to be axially guided under high radial forces. As a fixed bearing, the NUP design absorbs axial forces from both directions, as it features two fixed flanges on the outer ring and one fixed flange together with a loose flange disc on the inner ring. In appropriate bearing arrangements, this roller bearing locks the shaft in the axial direction whilst simultaneously withstanding high radial loads.

What features does the polyamide cage of the ECP variant offer?

The suffix ECP denotes the combination of optimised internal geometry and a lightweight polyamide cage. This cage guides the rollers quietly and is suitable for dynamic loads. The bearing is designed for a temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees Celsius. As this is an open bearing without an integrated seal, the lubrication supply and any external seals must be adapted to the specific housing environment.
