Cylindrical Roller Bearings — SKF NU/NJ/NUP Series

SKF Cylindrical Roller Bearings in the NU, NJ, and NUP configurations deliver the highest radial load capacity of any rolling bearing type relative to their size. The separable inner ring design of the NU type allows free axial displacement of the shaft relative to the housing, making these bearings ideal for non-locating bearing positions in electric motors, gearboxes, and pumps. NJ and NUP types provide limited axial guidance in one or both directions respectively. SKF's Explorer class cylindrical roller bearings feature a logarithmic roller profile that eliminates edge stress under heavy loads, extending fatigue life by up to 3 times compared to conventional designs. Available in bore sizes from 20mm to 200mm, these bearings are manufactured to ISO 15 standards. Shri Narayan Machinery LLP in Noida supplies the full SKF cylindrical roller bearing range with technical guidance for proper selection, fit, and lubrication.

Frequently Asked Questions — Cylindrical Roller Bearings

NU bearings have flanges on the outer ring only, allowing free axial movement of the shaft — ideal for non-locating positions. NJ bearings add a loose flange on the inner ring for one-direction axial guidance. NUP bearings have both a fixed and a loose inner ring flange for axial guidance in both directions. Choose based on whether your application requires pure radial support (NU), limited axial retention (NJ), or full axial guidance (NUP).
