Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG N230 -E-M1

The FAG N230 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row idler bearing with a brass cage, with main dimensions of 150 x 270 x 45 mm, designed for high radial loads.

The single-row cylindrical roller bearing N230 -E-M1 from FAG, as a radial roller bearing, withstands high radial forces. Thanks to the line contact between the rollers and raceways, the design offers high rigidity during operation. This model is an open roller bearing without seals, allowing lubricants to reach the contact surfaces unhindered. Designed for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +150 degrees, the bearing is suitable for demanding industrial drives and heavy-duty machine mountings.

In which bearing arrangements is the N230 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing used?

This cylindrical roller bearing is primarily used where high radial loads occur and axial changes in shaft length need to be compensated for. As a floating bearing, the design compensates for thermal expansion within the bearing without constraint. Typical applications include rotating shafts in fixed-floating bearing arrangements subject to high radial loads. The solid brass cage reliably guides the cylindrical rollers along their path, even during rapid acceleration.

What are the advantages of the N design with a removable outer ring?

The N design features two fixed flanges on the inner ring, whilst the outer ring is manufactured without flanges and is removable from both sides. This design significantly simplifies both assembly and disassembly, as the inner and outer rings can be mounted separately onto the shaft and housing. As the outer ring is designed without a groove or lubrication bore, the lubricant is supplied via the housing design. The design with standard radial bearing clearance ensures a defined operating clearance under normal installation and temperature conditions.
