Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU2217 ECP

The SKF NU2217 ECP cylindrical roller bearing, a single-row idler bearing with an 85 mm bore, offers a high radial load-carrying capacity in a compact design.

The SKF NU2217 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is designed for radial loads in machinery and gearbox construction. Thanks to its Explorer design and optimised internal construction, this single-row bearing can accommodate high radial forces. With an inside diameter of 85 mm, an outside diameter of 150 mm and a width of 36 mm, this roller bearing is suitable for specific shaft guides. As it is an open bearing, the lubricant can be flexibly adapted to the specific operating environment.

In which applications is the NU2217 ECP cylindrical roller bearing used?

This radial bearing is primarily used where high transverse forces act on rotating shafts. Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering as well as in bearing arrangements subject to purely radial loads. Designed as a pure idler bearing, the cylindrical roller bearing compensates for thermal length changes in the shaft within the bearing itself. The integrated polyamide cage contributes to quiet running and keeps friction low at medium to high speeds.

What are the advantages of the NU design with a removable inner ring?

The NU design features two fixed flanges on the outer ring, whilst the inner ring is flangeless and can be removed from both sides. This separability facilitates the assembly and disassembly of the bearing rings, as the inner and outer rings can be mounted separately onto the shaft and housing. For maintenance and design purposes, this principle also simplifies inspection of the bearing location. Combined with dimensional accuracy P0 and running accuracy P6, this provides a precise component for machine seats requiring a precise fit.
