Product Overview: The NUP 304 Cylindrical Roller Bearing
The NUP 304 is a high-performance cylindrical roller bearing, a key component in our NUP 300 Series. With principal dimensions of 20mm Bore Diameter, 52mm Outer Diameter, and 15mm Thickness, this bearing is engineered for applications demanding high radial load capacity and precise axial shaft location. The unique 'NUP' design features two integral flanges on the outer ring and one integral flange plus a loose flange ring on the inner ring, enabling it to locate the shaft axially in both directions. This makes it an ideal solution for fixed-end bearing arrangements.
As a specialist supplier of industrial components, we provide NUP 304 bearings manufactured to stringent industry standards. Their separable design allows the inner ring, outer ring, and roller assembly to be mounted independently, simplifying installation and maintenance procedures.

Features of the NUP 304 Bearing
- Bi-Directional Axial Location: Designed to locate the shaft axially in both directions, providing excellent positional control.
- High Radial Load Capacity: The line contact between the cylindrical rollers and raceways allows for the accommodation of heavy radial loads.
- Separable Design: The inner and outer rings can be separated, which facilitates easier mounting, dismounting, and inspection.
- High-Speed Capability: Engineered for low friction and optimized internal geometry, making it suitable for high-speed operations.
- Robust Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, through-hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability and a long service life.
- Accommodates Thermal Expansion: Can manage a certain degree of axial displacement resulting from thermal expansion of the shaft relative to the housing.
Applications of NUP 304 Bearings
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides rigid support for gear shafts, ensuring proper gear mesh and efficient power transmission.
- Electric Motors: Used as a locating bearing on motor shafts to handle radial loads and maintain rotor position.
- Pumps and Compressors: Ensures the stability and alignment of rotating shafts in demanding fluid and gas handling equipment.
- Machine Tool Spindles: Offers the rigidity and precision required for high-accuracy cutting and grinding operations.
- Automotive Transmissions: Utilized in gear systems to support shafts and manage both radial and axial forces.
- Construction Equipment: Found in heavy machinery like excavators and loaders where durability under heavy loads is critical.
- Material Handling Systems: Essential for conveyor rollers and other equipment requiring robust rotational support.
Benefits of Using the NUP 304 Bearing
