Product Overview: The NU 232 Cylindrical Roller Bearing
The NU 232 bearing is a high-capacity single-row cylindrical roller bearing with principal dimensions of 160x290x80mm. As a key component in our NU Series, it belongs to the robust NU 2300 Series of Cylindrical Roller Bearings. The 'NU' design features two integral flanges on the outer ring and a flangeless inner ring. This configuration is engineered to accommodate high radial loads while allowing for axial displacement of the shaft relative to the housing in both directions, making it ideal for non-locating bearing positions.
Manufactured to exacting standards, the NU 232 is built for reliability in demanding industrial environments. Its separable design, where the inner ring can be mounted independently of the outer ring and roller assembly, significantly simplifies installation and maintenance procedures. This bearing is a go-to solution for heavy machinery requiring durable and efficient rotational support.
Key Features of the NU 232 Bearing
- High Radial Load Capacity: The line contact between rollers and raceways provides excellent capacity for heavy radial loads.
- Axial Displacement Accommodation: The NU design allows for free axial movement, compensating for shaft thermal expansion and mounting errors.
- Separable Design: The inner ring is separable from the outer ring and cage assembly, facilitating easy mounting and dismounting.
- High Stiffness: Offers high radial stiffness, making it suitable for applications requiring precise shaft guidance.
- Low Friction Operation: Optimized internal geometry minimizes friction, reducing operational temperature and extending service life.
- Durable Construction: Made from premium-grade bearing steel for exceptional toughness and longevity under harsh conditions.
Common Applications of NU 232 Bearings
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides robust support for gears and shafts in heavy-duty transmission systems.
- Rolling Mills: Used extensively in the steel and metalworking industries for roll neck applications.
- Large Electric Motors: Supports rotors in high-power industrial motors and generators.
- Construction and Mining Equipment: Essential for machinery like excavators, crushers, and conveyors that operate under extreme loads.
- Pumps and Compressors: Ensures reliable operation of rotating components in large industrial fluid machinery.
- Wind Turbines: Utilized in gearbox and main shaft applications to handle significant loads and variable speeds.
- Vibrating Screens and Shakers: Withstands the high radial forces and vibrations common in material processing equipment.
Benefits of Using the NU 232 Bearing
- Enhanced Machine Reliability: Its ability to handle heavy loads and axial displacement reduces stress on machinery, preventing premature failures.
- Simplified Maintenance: The separable nature of the bearing makes inspection, removal, and replacement straightforward, minimizing downtime.
- Extended Operational Life: High-quality materials and a low-friction design lead to less wear and a longer service life for the bearing and associated components.
- Improved Efficiency: Low friction and smooth operation contribute to reduced energy consumption and better overall system performance.
- Versatile Installation: Suitable for a wide range of heavy-duty applications where both radial load support and axial freedom are required.
