Product Overview: The NUP 2204 Cylindrical Roller Bearing
The NUP 2204 is a single-row cylindrical roller bearing designed for high performance in demanding industrial applications. With key dimensions of a 20mm bore diameter, 47mm outer diameter, and 18mm thickness, this bearing is engineered to handle substantial radial loads at high speeds. As a distinguished member of our NUP 2200 Series, its standout feature is the ability to locate a shaft axially in both directions, making it an excellent choice for fixed-end bearing positions. The NUP design incorporates two integral flanges on the outer ring and a single integral flange with a loose thrust collar on the inner ring, providing precise shaft guidance. This component is a vital part of our comprehensive range of Cylindrical Roller Bearings, trusted for their reliability and superior construction.
Key Features of the NUP 2204 Bearing
- Bi-Directional Axial Location: Uniquely designed to constrain the shaft axially in both directions, making it ideal for fixed-end applications.
- High Radial Load Capacity: The line contact between the rollers and raceways allows for the accommodation of heavy radial loads.
- Separable Design: The inner ring, with its loose flange ring, can be mounted separately from the outer ring and roller assembly, simplifying installation, inspection, and maintenance procedures.
- High Rigidity: The robust construction provides excellent stiffness, ensuring stable and precise operation under load.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-purity, hardened bearing steel for exceptional wear resistance and extended service life.
- High-Speed Capability: Engineered with an optimized internal geometry that minimizes friction and allows for operation at high rotational speeds.
