Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU2205 ECP

The SKF NU2205 ECP cylindrical roller bearing, with dimensions of 25x52x18 mm and a polyamide cage, offers a robust solution for purely radial load applications.

This single-row NU2205 ECP cylindrical roller bearing, as an open roller bearing, can accommodate high radial loads. The cylindrical rollers create a broad line of contact on the raceways, which increases the radial load capacity compared with point-contact bearings. SKF manufactures this version in Explorer quality with an optimised internal design. You receive a component with standard radial clearance that combines dimensional accuracy to P0/ABEC 1 with increased running accuracy to P6/ABEC 3.

What is the NU2205 ECP cylindrical roller bearing suitable for in practice?

Design engineers primarily use this design as a conventional non-locating bearing in shaft guides. As the inner ring has no flanges, it can be withdrawn from either side. This allows the bearing to compensate internally, with low friction, for axial length changes in the shaft caused by temperature differences. Typical applications include bearing arrangements subject to high radial loads, where axial forces are absorbed by a separate fixed bearing.

What advantages do the NU design and the polyamide cage offer?

The separate assembly makes maintenance easier for you: you slide the inner ring separately onto the 25 mm shaft seat and fit the outer ring into the 52 mm housing. The integrated polyamide cage guides the rollers quietly and reduces the weight of the bearing. This open bearing, which has no sealing washers, requires external lubrication within the housing. The component is designed for a temperature range of -30 to +120 degrees Celsius.
