Product Overview: The NUP 316 Cylindrical Roller Bearing
The NUP 316 is a high-performance single-row cylindrical roller bearing designed to handle heavy radial loads and provide precise axial shaft location in both directions. With principal dimensions of 80mm bore diameter, 170mm outer diameter, and 39mm width, this bearing is a robust component for demanding industrial applications. As a key part of our Cylindrical Roller Bearings range, the NUP 316 belongs to the versatile NUP 300 Series. Its unique design features two integral flanges on the outer ring and a single integral flange on the inner ring, with an additional loose thrust collar. This configuration securely locates the shaft axially, making it an excellent choice for fixed-end bearing arrangements.
Key Features of the NUP 316 Bearing
- Bi-Directional Axial Location: The NUP design provides fixed axial positioning of the shaft relative to the housing in both directions.
- High Radial Load Capacity: Engineered with line contact between rollers and raceways, allowing it to support significant radial forces.
- Separable Design: The inner ring, with its loose flange ring, can be mounted independently of the outer ring assembly, simplifying installation and maintenance procedures.
- High-Speed Performance: The low-friction design is suitable for applications involving high rotational speeds.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional durability and a long operational lifespan.
- Enhanced Rigidity: Provides strong, rigid support for shafts, minimizing deflection under heavy loads.
Common Applications of NUP 316 Bearings
- Industrial Gearboxes: Used as locating bearings on shafts to maintain precise gear mesh and alignment.
