Product Overview: The N 324 Cylindrical Roller Bearing
The N 324 bearing is a high-capacity, single-row cylindrical roller bearing with principal dimensions of 120x260x55mm. As a key component in our Cylindrical Roller Bearings collection, this bearing is engineered to handle very high radial loads at high speeds. It is part of the robust N 300 Series, known for its performance in demanding industrial applications.
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 ideal for applications with thermal expansion or potential mounting misalignments. The separable design, where the outer ring can be mounted independently from the inner ring and roller assembly, greatly simplifies both installation and maintenance procedures.
Key Features of the N 324 Bearing
- High Radial Load Capacity: The line contact between the rollers and raceways provides excellent capacity for heavy radial loads.
- Axial Displacement Accommodation: The design allows for axial movement in both directions, compensating for thermal expansion of the shaft.
- Separable Components: The outer ring is separable, facilitating easier mounting, dismounting, and inspection.
- High-Speed Performance: Engineered for low friction and minimal heat generation, making it suitable for high-speed operations.
- Robust and Durable: Manufactured from high-quality, clean bearing steel for extended service life and reliability under tough conditions.
- Dimensional Stability: Precision engineering ensures consistent performance and interchangeability.
Common Applications of N 324 Bearings
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides robust support for gears and shafts, handling the high radial forces involved.
- Large Electric Motors: Used as non-locating bearings to support motor shafts and manage thermal growth.
- Pumps and Compressors: Ensures reliable rotation in heavy-duty fluid and gas handling equipment.
- Rolling Mills: Withstands the extreme loads and high temperatures found in metal forming applications.
- Construction Machinery: Essential for the reliable operation of transmissions, axles, and hydraulic pumps in heavy equipment.
- Vibrating Screens and Crushers: Capable of handling the heavy, shock-like radial loads common in mining and aggregate machinery.
- Machine Tool Spindles: Offers the rigidity and precision required for high-speed machining applications.
Benefits of Using the N 324 Bearing
