Product Overview: The NU 2324 Cylindrical Roller Bearing
The NU 2324 is a high-capacity single-row cylindrical roller bearing designed to handle heavy radial loads at high speeds. With dimensions of 120x260x86mm, this bearing is a crucial component in demanding industrial applications. As part of our extensive Cylindrical Roller Bearings collection, the NU 2324 belongs to the robust NU 2300 Series. Its key design feature is an inner ring with two integral flanges and an outer ring without flanges. This configuration allows the bearing to accommodate axial displacement of the shaft relative to the housing in both directions, making it ideal for non-locating bearing positions.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the NU 2324 offers exceptional reliability and a long service life. Its separable design, where the inner ring can be mounted independently from the outer ring and roller assembly, simplifies installation, inspection, and maintenance procedures. This bearing is engineered for applications where thermal expansion of the shaft must be compensated for without inducing internal stress.
Key Features of the NU 2324 Bearing
- High Radial Load Capacity: The line contact between the rollers and raceways provides excellent capacity for heavy radial loads.
- Axial Displacement Accommodation: The NU design allows for free axial movement of the shaft relative to the housing in both directions, compensating for thermal expansion.
- Separable Design: The inner ring is separable from the outer ring and roller assembly, facilitating easier mounting and dismounting.
- High-Speed Capability: Engineered for low friction and minimal heat generation, making it suitable for high-speed rotational applications.
- Robust Construction: Made from high-quality, clean bearing steel to ensure durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Interchangeability: Produced to standard dimensions, allowing for easy interchangeability with other manufacturer's NU 2324 bearings.
Common Applications of NU 2324 Bearings
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides robust support for gears and shafts, handling the high radial forces common in gear systems.
- Electric Motors and Generators: Used as non-locating bearings on motor shafts to support heavy rotors and manage thermal growth.
- Pumps and Compressors: Ensures reliable operation in industrial pumps where high loads and speeds are present.
- Construction and Mining Equipment: Ideal for heavy machinery like excavators, conveyors, and crushers that operate under severe conditions.
- Rolling Mills: Withstands the extreme loads and harsh environments found in steel and metal processing plants.
- Vibrating Screens: Its durability makes it suitable for the high-vibration and heavy-load conditions of screening machinery.
- Wind Turbines: Used in gearbox and main shaft applications to support massive rotational forces.
Benefits of Using the NU 2324 Bearing
