Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NU216 -E-XL-TVP2

The FAG NU216 -E-XL-TVP2 cylindrical roller bearing, measuring 80 × 140 × 26 mm, provides a robust floating bearing arrangement for high radial loads in mechanical engineering.

The NU216 -E-XL-TVP2 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row rolling bearing designed primarily for radial loads. As an open design without an integrated seal, this unit can be flexibly integrated into existing oil or grease lubrication systems. The manufacturer, FAG, fits this variant with a lightweight polyamide cage. Thanks to the precise line contact between the raceway and the rollers, this roller bearing transmits high forces whilst ensuring smooth running in industrial drives.

In which bearing arrangements is the NU216 -E-XL-TVP2 cylindrical roller bearing used?

This bearing is primarily used in bearing arrangements where thermal linear expansion of the shaft occurs. Due to its NU design, the bearing supports radial forces exclusively and compensates for axial displacement without constraint within the bearing. Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering as well as in heavy-duty industrial drives that require a robust bearing arrangement with an 80 mm shaft diameter and a 140 mm housing bore.

What are the advantages of the NU design with a polyamide cage?

The NU design features two fixed flanges on the outer ring, whilst the flangeless inner ring can be removed from both sides. This separability facilitates assembly and maintenance, as the inner and outer rings can be mounted separately onto the shaft and housing. The polyamide cage (TVP2) is characterised by its elastic damping properties and low weight. Together with the standard radial bearing clearance, the design covers an operating range from –30 to +120 degrees Celsius.
