Product Overview: The NU 316 Cylindrical Roller Bearing
The NU 316 bearing is a high-performance component from our NU 300 Series Cylindrical Roller Bearings. With precise dimensions of 80mm bore diameter, 170mm outer diameter, and 39mm thickness, this bearing is engineered for applications requiring high radial load capacity and moderate to high-speed operation. Its design, featuring a separable outer ring with two integral flanges and no flanges on the inner ring, allows for axial displacement of the shaft relative to the housing within the bearing itself. This makes the NU 316 ideal for applications where thermal expansion or contraction might occur, accommodating shaft expansion without inducing internal stresses.
As a key offering in our range of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, the NU 316 is manufactured to exacting industry standards, ensuring exceptional durability and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. These bearings are indispensable in various heavy-duty machinery, providing robust support and facilitating smooth, efficient rotational movement under significant radial forces.
