Product Overview: The NU 224 Cylindrical Roller Bearing
The NU 224 bearing is a high-performance component within our comprehensive NU 200 Series Cylindrical Roller Bearings. Designed for applications requiring high radial load capacity and high-speed operation, this bearing features a robust design with rollers guided between fixed ribs in one ring and a smooth raceway in the other. Specifically, the NU type features two integral flanges on the outer ring and no flanges on the inner ring, allowing for axial displacement of the shaft relative to the housing within the bearing itself. This characteristic makes the NU 224 ideal for use as a non-locating bearing.
As a key offering from our industrial bearings and mechanical parts catalog, the NU 224 is engineered to deliver exceptional reliability and longevity in demanding industrial environments. Its precision manufacturing ensures smooth, efficient operation and minimal friction, contributing to the extended service life of machinery. We stock a wide array of NU Series bearings, guaranteeing the right fit for your specific industrial needs.
