Cylindrical Roller Bearings SKF NU1024 ML

The SKF NU1024 ML cylindrical roller bearing, with a 120 mm bore, brass cage and P6 precision, offers a heavy-duty solution for radial free-running applications.

The SKF NU1024 ML cylindrical roller bearing is a single-row rolling bearing designed for high radial forces. With key dimensions of a 120 mm bore, 180 mm outer diameter and 28 mm width, the design can accommodate considerable radial loads. The manufacturer, SKF, produces this bearing in an open design without seals, allowing you to tailor the lubricant directly to the operating conditions. The solid brass cage guides the cylindrical rollers and is suitable for demanding operating environments in continuous industrial use.

In which applications is the NU1024 ML cylindrical roller bearing used as a non-locating bearing?

The free-running bearing design is engineered to accommodate purely radial forces, whilst allowing axial length changes in the shaft to be compensated for without constraint. As the inner ring has no flanges and can be removed from both sides, the shaft moves axially within the bearing without generating additional stresses. Typical applications include shaft mountings subject to high radial loads where axial displacement is required. With an operating temperature range of –30 to +150 degrees, the roller bearing is also suitable for use in thermally demanding conditions.

What are the advantages of the brass cage and the NU design?

The NU design facilitates assembly, as the inner and outer rings can be fitted separately onto the shaft and housing. The integrated brass cage provides the rolling bearing with additional stability when subjected to vibrations or acceleration forces. The increased running accuracy to Class P6 (ABEC 3) contributes to smooth running, whilst the dimensional accuracy corresponds to the standard Class P0 (ABEC 1). The open bearing has no lubrication bore in the outer ring, which is why lubrication is supplied via the housing.
