Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU218 ECM

The SKF NU218 ECM cylindrical roller bearing, a single-row idler bearing measuring 90 × 160 × 30 mm, can accommodate high radial loads.

The SKF NU218 ECM cylindrical roller bearing is a radial rolling bearing designed for demanding industrial applications. Thanks to the line contact between the cylindrical rollers and the hardened raceways, this component transmits high forces whilst maintaining high rigidity. The design features a bore of 90 mm, an outer diameter of 160 mm and a width of 30 mm. The open bearing is particularly suitable for lubrication circuits using oil or grease in protected machine housings.

What is the NU218 ECM cylindrical roller bearing suitable for as a support bearing?

This single-row cylindrical roller bearing is primarily used as a support bearing for guiding rotating shafts. As the inner ring is flangeless on both sides and removable, the bearing compensates for axial length changes in the shaft directly within the bearing. Typical applications can be found in general mechanical engineering as well as in bearing arrangements subject to purely radial loads. In these installations, primarily radial forces occur, whilst axial forces are absorbed by separate fixed bearings.

What are the distinctive features of the version with a brass cage?

The integrated brass cage guides the rolling elements precisely and gives the bearing high mechanical stability. Brass is also resistant to vibrations and rapid accelerations. The bearing is designed for a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees. With standard radial bearing clearance, dimensional accuracy to P0/PN and running accuracy to P6, this design meets tight tolerance requirements whilst ensuring smooth running.
