Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU2320 ECP

The SKF NU2320 ECP cylindrical roller bearing (100x215x73 mm) is a single-row non-locating bearing that accommodates high radial loads and allows for axial movement of the shaft.

The NU2320 ECP cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row roller bearing designed for industrial applications involving high radial loads. This open roller bearing has a bore of 100 mm, an outside diameter of 215 mm and a width of 73 mm. In the SKF Explorer version, the design features an optimised internal geometry. In the NU design, the outer ring has two fixed flanges, whilst the inner ring is flangeless. This allows the inner ring to be removed from both sides, which facilitates the separate assembly of the shaft and housing.

What is the NU2320 ECP cylindrical roller bearing suitable for?

This cylindrical roller bearing is primarily used as a non-locating bearing when pure radial forces are to be supported. As the inner ring has no flanges, the shaft and ring slide freely relative to one another during thermal linear expansion. Typical applications include shaft mountings where components experience axial movement due to loads or temperature changes. The open bearing design allows for targeted lubrication with oil or grease via the machine housing.

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

The integrated polyamide cage guides the cylindrical rollers evenly within the raceway. The material dampens vibrations and is suitable for operating temperatures ranging from –30 to +120 degrees. In the design, dimensional accuracy to tolerance class P0 (ABEC 1) and the increased running accuracy P6 (ABEC 3) must be taken into account. As the bearing is manufactured without an integrated seal, sealing is provided by the surrounding housing structure.
