Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU2306 ECP

The SKF NU2306 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is an open, single-row non-locating bearing with a polyamide cage, measuring 30 x 72 x 27 mm.

The SKF NU2306 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is designed as a single-row rolling bearing to accommodate high radial loads. With a bore of 30 mm, an outside diameter of 72 mm and a width of 27 mm, it complies with standardised mounting dimensions. The Explorer version features an optimised internal design. As the bearing is open at both ends, it can be flexibly integrated into existing lubrication circuits.

What is the NU2306 ECP cylindrical roller bearing suitable for?

As a floating bearing, this design accommodates purely radial loads and compensates for axial length changes in the shaft directly within the bearing. Typical applications are found in general mechanical and plant engineering in bearing arrangements where thermal linear expansion occurs between the shaft and the housing. Thanks to the line contact of the cylindrical rollers, the design achieves high radial stiffness.

What are the special features of the NU design and the polyamide cage?

The NU design is characterised by two solid flanges on the outer ring, whilst the inner ring remains flangeless and can be removed from both sides. This ability to be dismantled simplifies assembly and maintenance in the structure. The integrated polyamide cage guides the rolling elements with minimal vibration and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +120 degrees. When designing the bearing mounting, care must be taken to provide external sealing, as the open design offers no integrated protection against foreign particles.
