Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU214 ECP

The SKF NU214 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is a separable non-locating bearing (70x125x24 mm) with a polyamide cage, designed for high radial loads in industrial applications.

The NU214 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row rolling bearing in the Explorer performance class with a 70 mm bore, 125 mm outer diameter and 24 mm width. Thanks to its optimised internal design, this version can accommodate high radial loads. The integrated polyamide cage ensures quiet and low-friction operation of the rollers. As an open roller bearing, the component can be flexibly integrated into existing lubrication circuits. The bearing is suitable for demanding applications in mechanical and plant engineering.

In which bearing arrangements does the NU214 ECP cylindrical roller bearing act as a non-locating bearing?

The bearing accommodates high radial loads and compensates for axial length changes in the shaft. The NU design acts purely as a non-locating bearing in this context: two fixed flanges on the outer ring guide the roller set, whilst the flangeless inner ring allows axial displacement in both directions. Typical applications include drive systems and industrial set-ups involving thermal shaft expansion. The permissible temperature range is from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius.

What properties do the polyamide cage and the separable design offer?

The suffix ECP denotes the combination of a modified inner ring geometry and an elastic polyamide cage. This cage material dampens vibrations under dynamic loads and reduces bearing friction. A clear advantage during assembly is the separability: The inner ring can be removed from both sides, allowing the inner and outer rings to be fitted separately. With standard radial clearance and a precision grade of P6 (ABEC 3) with dimensional tolerances to P0 (ABEC 1), the bearing meets defined precision requirements.
