Product Overview: The NU 2318 Cylindrical Roller Bearing
The NU 2318 bearing, with its precise dimensions of 90x190x64mm (Bore Diameter x Outer Diameter x Thickness), is a high-performance component within our NU 2300 Series Cylindrical Roller Bearings. This single-row cylindrical roller bearing features an outer ring with two integral flanges and an inner ring without flanges, making it suitable for applications where axial displacement between the shaft and the housing is required. This design allows the shaft to expand or contract freely without imposing axial loads on the bearing, preventing premature wear and extending operational life.
As a key product in our range of NU Series bearings, the NU 2318 is engineered for exceptional radial load capacity and high-speed operation. Its robust construction and efficient design ensure reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. We supply industry-standard, high-quality cylindrical roller bearings, ensuring smooth rotation and reduced friction for critical machinery. Explore our comprehensive selection of cylindrical roller bearings to find the ideal solution for your power transmission needs.
