Cylindrical Roller Bearings 4

NSK cylindrical roller bearings can be used in all applications requiring a high radial load as well as easy assembly. Both bearing rings can, if necessary, be fitted tightly. Cylindrical roller bearings have a high radial load capacity and are suitable for high speeds. The modified design of the rolling contacts helps to avoid harmful edge stresses. Cylindrical roller bearings are produced in a number of designs depending on the various demands on the bearings during use. The NU-type bearings have two fixed ribs on the outer ring and an inner ring without a rib. Construction type N has two fixed...

EM + EW Series – Design Concept of our latest developed Standard Bearing EM Series You can now take advantage of NSK’s latest developed cylindrical roller bearing, the EM Series, which combines the strengths and technologies of previous cage designs into a one-piece brass roller-guided cage. NSK has achieved a design involving even newer concepts, while maintaining excellence in function and service life. Our EM Series can meet your high load-carrying capacity needs for the new era. The latest developed Standard Bearing Greater accuracy of the roller guidance achieved through special pocket profiling...

EW Series NSK has developed a higher load-carrying capacity pressed cage with low noise and superior change strength. Our EW series is a standard cylindrical roller bearing that facilitates interchangeability across the globe, while offering better performance for every application.
