Product Overview: N 326 Cylindrical Roller Bearing
The N 326 is a high-capacity single-row cylindrical roller bearing, engineered to excel in applications demanding robust radial support and axial shaft movement. With principal dimensions of 130x280x58mm, this bearing is a key component in our N 300 Series, part of the broader Cylindrical Roller Bearings category. The 'N' designation signifies a specific design where the inner ring features two integral flanges, and the outer ring is flangeless. 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.
Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel, the N 326 offers exceptional durability and performance under heavy radial loads and high speeds. Its separable design—where the inner ring with the roller and cage assembly can be mounted independently of the outer ring—greatly simplifies installation, inspection, and maintenance procedures. This bearing is a reliable solution for various heavy industrial applications where precision and strength are paramount.
Key Features of the N 326 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 with a flangeless outer ring allows for axial movement in both directions, accommodating thermal expansion or contraction of the shaft.
- Separable Components: The 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-speed rotational applications.
- Robust and Durable: Constructed from premium-grade bearing steel for superior wear resistance and a long operational lifespan.
- Simplified Mounting: The ability to separate the components makes installation and maintenance more efficient, reducing downtime.
Common Applications
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gears and shafts, handling the high radial forces involved.
- Electric Motors: Often used on the non-locating (floating) end of large electric motors to manage shaft expansion.
- Pumps and Compressors: Ensures smooth and stable operation of rotating assemblies in demanding fluid and gas handling equipment.
- Construction Machinery: Found in heavy equipment like excavators, cranes, and loaders where durability is critical.
