Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF N316 ECP

The SKF N316 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is an open, single-row idler bearing with main dimensions of 80 x 170 x 39 mm and a polyamide cage.

As a single-row cylindrical roller bearing, the N316 ECP withstands high radial loads and supports shafts in industrial bearing arrangements. With an inner diameter of 80 mm, an outer diameter of 170 mm and a width of 39 mm, this design fits into standardised housing bores. As an open bearing, the component can be integrated directly into an existing lubrication system. SKF’s Explorer design features an optimised internal construction that reduces friction and promotes smooth running of the cylindrical rollers.

What is the N316 ECP cylindrical roller bearing suitable for in operation?

This bearing is primarily designed to accommodate high radial loads at medium to high speeds. Typical applications include general mechanical engineering and heavy-duty industrial applications with purely radial loads. As the outer ring is designed to be removable on both sides, the assembly functions as a conventional non-locating bearing. The system effortlessly compensates for thermal length changes in the shaft directly within the bearing. At the same time, the separable design facilitates the sequential mounting of the inner and outer rings onto the shaft and housing.

What are the advantages of combining the free-running bearing design with a polyamide cage?

The integrated polyamide cage is characterised by its low weight, which reduces inertial forces during rapid speed changes. The permissible operating temperature range is from –30 to +120 degrees. Dimensional accuracy complies with tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1), whilst running accuracy is manufactured to P6 (ABEC 3). As the bearing has no integrated seals, surrounding machine parts must provide protection against contamination. Ensure that the lubricant is supplied in a clean manner.
