Cylindrical Roller Bearings FAG N316 -E-M1

The FAG N316 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row idler bearing with a brass cage, measuring 80 x 170 x 39 mm, designed for high radial loads.

The N316 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing from FAG Rolling Bearings is designed as a single-row radial roller bearing for applications requiring high radial forces at normal operating temperatures. Due to its N design, the bearing has two fixed flanges on the inner ring, whilst the flangeless outer ring can be removed from both sides. This design facilitates the separate assembly of both bearing rings. With key dimensions of an 80 mm bore, 170 mm outer diameter and 39 mm width, this open bearing functions purely as a support bearing in industrial machinery and plant engineering.

When is the N316 -E-M1 cylindrical roller bearing used as a non-locating bearing?

This design is primarily used where thermally induced changes in shaft length need to be compensated for without restriction. As the outer ring has no flanges, the shaft can move axially during operation without causing internal stresses. The component is suitable for industrial shaft mountings subject to high radial loads. As the bearing is of an open design, it can be integrated directly into an external lubrication system using oil or grease.

What role do the brass cage and tolerance class P0 play in the design?

The solid brass cage (-M1) guides the cylindrical rollers precisely and is suitable for operating conditions involving vibrations or shock loads. With the standard tolerance class P0 (corresponding to ABEC 1) and standard radial clearance, this design meets typical precision requirements in standard mechanical engineering. The bearing is designed for operating temperatures ranging from -30 to +150 degrees. When designing the assembly, ensure that axial forces are absorbed separately by a fixed bearing, as the N design cannot transmit axial forces.
