Product Overview: The N 320 Cylindrical Roller Bearing
The N 320 Cylindrical Roller Bearing is a high-capacity, single-row bearing engineered to handle substantial radial loads at high speeds. With principal dimensions of 100x215x47mm, this component is a vital part of our N 300 Series within the broader Cylindrical Roller Bearings category. The 'N' design features two integral flanges on the inner ring and a flangeless outer ring. This configuration allows the bearing to accommodate axial displacement of the shaft relative to the housing in both directions, making it an excellent choice for non-locating bearing positions, especially where thermal expansion of the shaft occurs.
Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel, the N 320 offers exceptional durability and a long service life. Its separable design, where the outer ring can be mounted independently of the inner ring and roller assembly, greatly simplifies installation, inspection, and maintenance procedures. This bearing is indispensable in heavy industrial equipment where reliability and precision are paramount.
Key Features of the N 320 Bearing
- High Radial Load Capacity: The line contact between the rollers and raceways provides excellent capacity for heavy radial loads.
- Axial Displacement Accommodation: The 'N' type design allows for axial movement in both directions, compensating for shaft expansion or contraction.
- Separable Design: Inner and outer rings can be mounted separately, which simplifies the assembly and fitting process.
- High-Speed Performance: Engineered for low friction and minimal heat generation, making it suitable for high rotational speed applications.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-quality bearing steel to ensure strength, durability, and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Interchangeability: Manufactured to standard dimensions, allowing for easy replacement and interchangeability with other standard bearings.
Common Applications
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides robust support for gears and shafts under heavy radial stress.
- Electric Motors: Used as non-locating bearings on motor shafts to support radial loads while allowing for thermal expansion.
- Pumps and Compressors: Ensures reliable operation of rotating components in various industrial pump systems.
- Construction and Mining Equipment: Essential in heavy machinery like excavators, conveyors, and crushers.
- Rolling Mills: Withstands the extreme loads and high-speed conditions found in steel and metal processing.
- Machine Tool Spindles: Delivers the rigidity and precision required for high-accuracy machining operations.
- Vibrating Screens and Shakers: Capable of handling the demanding conditions of vibratory machinery in processing industries.
Benefits of Using the N 320 Bearing
