NACHI NU207EG NU Cylindrical Roller Bearing 35x72x17 mm, EG high capacity

The NACHI NU207EG is a single row cylindrical roller bearing in NU configuration: two flanges on the outer ring and none on the inner ring. It measures 35 x 72 x 17 mm (bore x outer diameter x width), with a basic dynamic load rating of 50,500 N and a basic static load rating of 50,000 N.

The inner ring and roller set can be separated from the outer ring. It does not take axial load and is used as a float (free) end bearing. Its radial internal clearance is Normal, CN (25 to 50 µm). The E in the number marks the high-capacity design, which lifts the dynamic rating from 33,500 N for the standard NU207 to 50,500 N, and the G marks a polyamide cage.

• Conveyor drives and other heavy rotating equipment

Features

• NU configuration, with two flanges on the outer ring and none on the inner ring. The inner ring and roller set can be separated from the outer ring.
• No axial location: does not take axial load, used as a float (free) end bearing
• E high-capacity design with polyamide cage (G): Cr 50.5 kN against 33.5 kN for the standard NU207
• Line contact between rollers and raceways gives a high radial load capacity for the size: Cr 50.5 kN, Cor 50 kN

Key specifications

Selecting the right option

The NU configuration has two flanges on the outer ring and none on the inner ring, so the inner ring and roller set can slide axially in the outer ring. That suits the float (free) end of a shaft, where it takes up thermal expansion, but it does not take axial load. If the bearing must locate the shaft axially, you need a type with a flange on both rings (see Related products).

These are Normal (CN) clearance bearings. If the inner ring will run hotter than the outer ring, the shaft deflects a lot, or the fits are tight, the C3 versions in the Related products section may suit better.

The EG version has a higher load rating than the standard design of the same size, with the same bore, outer diameter and width. Check the clearance and the polyamide cage temperature limit (below 120 °C) for your application.

Fitting and use

Check the load and speed against the catalogue figures before ordering and apply a suitable safety factor. Cylindrical roller bearings are mainly for radial load: any axial load must be well within what the flanges can carry by sliding contact, and the limit depends on lubrication and speed as well as the bearing.

The cage is polyamide (G), which is for operating temperatures below 120 °C. The limiting speeds in the table are the catalogue figures for these EG numbers.

These bearings are open: the housing arrangement has to supply and hold the lubricant and keep contamination out. Fit the rings with the housing and shaft tolerances recommended for your application, and keep the shaft and housing seats clean and square.

If you are replacing a bearing, check the full number stamped on it, including any letters after the digits, and send AIMS the number or the dimensions if you are not sure.
