Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG NU222 -E-M1

The FAG NU222 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing (110x200x38 mm) serves as a separable idler bearing for high radial loads, featuring a robust brass cage.

The NU222 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row roller bearing from FAG designed for demanding industrial applications. With a bore of 110 mm, an outer diameter of 200 mm and a width of 38 mm, this design can withstand high radial forces. Due to its open design without an integrated seal, the rolling element set runs directly in externally supplied lubricant. The design complies with tolerance class P0/PN or ABEC 1 and operates within a temperature range of -30 to +150 degrees.

What is the NU222 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing suitable for?

This roller bearing is used wherever designs combine high radial loads with axial length changes. As the NU design functions purely as a non-locating bearing, it compensates for thermal length expansion of the shaft directly between the rollers and the inner ring. Typical applications include industrial drives and shaft mountings where axial displacements must be accommodated without inducing stress. The solid brass cage guides the cylindrical rollers precisely and withstands continuous dynamic loads.

What are the advantages of the NU design with a brass cage?

In the NU design, the outer ring has two fixed flanges, whilst the inner ring is flangeless and removable from both sides. This separability makes assembly and maintenance considerably easier, as you can press both rings onto the shaft and housing independently of one another. The brass cage is particularly suitable for applications involving vibrations or high accelerations. When planning, take into account the standard radial bearing clearance as well as the need for an external housing seal to protect the bearing location.
