Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NU304 -E-XL-TVP2

The NU304 -E-XL-TVP2 cylindrical roller bearing from FAG, with dimensions of 20x52x15 mm, provides a floating bearing arrangement for high radial loads.

The NU304 -E-XL-TVP2 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row radial roller bearing from FAG, manufactured to standard tolerance P0/ABEC 1. It has a bore of 20 mm, an outer diameter of 52 mm and a width of 15 mm. Thanks to the line contact between the rollers and the raceway, this design can accommodate high radial forces. As an open bearing without an integrated seal, it is designed for operation with external lubrication within a temperature range of –30 to +120 degrees.

In which applications does the NU304 idler bearing prove its worth?

This design is primarily used where purely radial loads occur in conjunction with precise shaft guidance. The NU design functions as a classic idler bearing: as the inner ring can be removed from both sides and has no flanges, the bearing assembly compensates for thermal linear changes in the shaft without constraint within the bearing itself. Typical applications include bearing arrangements where separate fixed and floating bearing configurations are required and axial displacements must be accommodated without inducing stress.

What are the key features of the TVP2 polyamide cage?

The designation TVP2 refers to a polyamide cage that guides the rolling elements. This cage material operates quietly and has a low weight. The standard radial bearing clearance must be taken into account during design. As the inner ring is flangeless and can be removed from both sides, the inner and outer rings can be fitted separately. The open design requires external sealing of the bearing location to prevent the ingress of dirt.
