Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NJ2218 -E-M1

The FAG NJ2218 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing, with dimensions of 90 × 160 × 40 mm, can accommodate high radial loads and supports shafts axially on one side as a support bearing.

The NJ2218 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row rolling bearing with cylindrical rollers. Thanks to the line contact between the rollers, this design transmits high radial forces whilst maintaining a compact construction. The NJ version has two fixed flanges on the outer ring and one fixed flange on the inner ring. As a result, the bearing acts as a support bearing that limits shaft movement in one axial direction whilst simultaneously allowing axial compensating movements in the opposite direction.

What loads does the NJ2218 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing support?

This bearing is used when high radial loads act on the shaft and additional axial forces from one direction need to be accommodated. As the inner ring can be removed from one side, the bearing assembly can be fitted in a structured manner. Both bearing rings can be pressed onto the shaft and housing separately, which facilitates installation in enclosed assemblies.

What are the characteristics of the brass cage in the -E-M1 version?

The suffix ‘M1’ denotes a solid brass cage that guides the rollers. Brass is characterised by dimensional stability and favourable emergency running properties. This material is suitable for applications involving severe vibrations, varying speeds or impact loads. In combination with the permissible temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees, the open bearing retains its dimensional stability even under thermal stress. Depending on the operating requirements, lubricating oil or roller bearing grease is used for lubrication.
