Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU2212 ECP

The SKF NU2212 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is an open, single-row idler bearing with a polyamide cage, designed for shaft diameters of 60 mm under high radial loads.

This single-row NU2212 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is characterised by its compact main dimensions, with a 60 mm bore, 110 mm outside diameter and 28 mm width. Designed as an open rolling bearing without seals, the component can be flexibly lubricated via the surrounding machine system. The manufacturer, SKF, produces this version in the Explorer performance class with an optimised internal design. At operating temperatures between –30 and +120 degrees, the roller guidance ensures smooth power transmission in industrial applications.

What is the NU2212 ECP cylindrical roller bearing suitable for in operation?

The NU2212 ECP cylindrical roller bearing absorbs heavy radial forces and compensates for axial changes in shaft length. This design is particularly suitable for bearing arrangements in industrial machinery where purely radial loads are the primary concern. Thanks to the line contact between the cylindrical rollers and the raceways, the arrangement can also withstand heavy impact loads. As the outer ring has solid flanges, it guides the roller set securely, whilst the shaft can move freely axially relative to the bearing housing.

What are the advantages of the NU design and the ECP polyamide cage?

The NU design is characterised by an inner ring without flanges that can be removed from both sides. This allows the inner and outer rings to be mounted separately onto the shaft and housing, which facilitates installation and subsequent maintenance work. The polyamide cage keeps the weight of the rolling element assembly low and dampens operating noise. In combination with the standard radial clearance and running accuracy to class P6 or ABEC 3, the bearing enables precise guidance of rotating components.
