Product Overview: The N 322 Cylindrical Roller Bearing
The N 322 is a single-row cylindrical roller bearing, a key component in our N 300 Series of Cylindrical Roller Bearings. Engineered with principal dimensions of 110x240x50mm, this bearing is specifically designed to handle very high radial loads at high speeds. Its characteristic 'N' type 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 ideal for use as a non-locating bearing. The separable design, where the outer ring can be mounted independently of the inner ring and roller assembly, greatly simplifies installation and maintenance procedures in demanding industrial applications.
Key Features of the N 322 Bearing
- High Radial Load Capacity: The line contact between the rollers and raceways provides excellent capacity for heavy radial loads.
- High-Speed Performance: Engineered for low friction and minimal heat generation, making it suitable for high-speed rotational applications.
- Axial Displacement Accommodation: The flangeless outer ring allows for axial movement, compensating for shaft expansion or mounting inaccuracies.
- Separable Design: The components can be mounted separately, which simplifies the assembly and dismounting process.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability and a long service life.
- Dimensional Stability: Precision engineering ensures consistent performance and interchangeability.
Common Applications of N 322 Bearings
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides rigid and reliable support for gears and shafts under heavy loads.
- Large Electric Motors: Used in industrial motors where high radial forces are present.
- Pumps and Compressors: Ensures smooth and efficient operation of rotating assemblies.
- Rolling Mills: Withstands the extreme radial forces common in steel and metal processing equipment.
- Construction Machinery: Found in heavy equipment like excavators, cranes, and loaders.
- Vibrating Screens and Crushers: Ideal for machinery in the mining and aggregate industries due to its robustness.
- Wind Turbines: Used in gearbox and main shaft applications to handle significant loads.
- Paper Manufacturing Machinery: Supports rollers and other rotating parts in paper mills.
Benefits of Using the N 322 Bearing
- Enhanced Equipment Reliability: The ability to handle heavy radial loads reduces the risk of premature failure, leading to less downtime.
- Simplified Installation and Maintenance: The separable nature of the bearing makes it easier to install, inspect, and replace.
- Long Service Life: High-quality materials and design result in a bearing that lasts longer, even in harsh operating conditions.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Low friction characteristics contribute to reduced energy consumption and smoother machine performance.
- Thermal Expansion Management: Effectively accommodates thermal expansion of the shaft, preventing excessive stress on the bearing and other components.
