Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG N224 -E-M1

The FAG N224 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing, measuring 120 x 215 x 40 mm, accommodates high radial loads and compensates for axial length changes as a floating bearing.

This single-row cylindrical roller bearing, the N224 -E-M1 from FAG Rolling Bearings, withstands high radial forces and reliably guides shafts within the housing. With key dimensions of 120 mm bore diameter, 215 mm outer diameter and 40 mm width, this design is suitable for demanding industrial applications. The bearing features a solid brass cage which maintains precise spacing between the rollers even under vibration. As an open rolling bearing without sealing washers, the bearing assembly can be flexibly lubricated with grease or oil during operation.

In which applications is the N224 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing used as a non-locating bearing?

Design engineers primarily use this roller bearing in bearing locations where purely radial forces are acting and precise guidance to tolerance class P0 or ABEC 1 is required. A typical area of application is shaft guidance where temperature-induced changes in the shaft’s length must be taken into account. As thermal expansion can occur during operation, the flangeless design compensates for such displacements directly between the rolling elements and the outer ring raceway.

What are the distinctive features of the N-type loose bearing with a brass cage?

In the N design, the inner ring has two fixed flanges to guide the roller set, whilst the outer ring is flangeless and can be removed from both sides. This design allows for the separate assembly of both bearing rings and permits axial relative movement between the shaft and the housing. The solid brass cage, designated by the suffix M1, offers stability at high speeds and under high acceleration, and is suitable for a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees Celsius.
