How the QJ-219-N2MA model number is decoded

QJ 219 N2MA is SKF's 95 mm-bore QJ four-point contact ball bearing of the QJ200 series, 95×170×32 mm, with a two-piece inner ring for bidirectional axial location beside a radial bearing. QJ identifies a four-point contact ball bearing with a two-piece inner ring: the gothic-arch raceways seat each ball at four points, giving axial location in both directions while a paired radial bearing carries the radial load. N2 marks two locating slots, 180° apart, in one outer-ring side face: pins or dogs engage the slots to stop the outer ring turning in its radially-clear housing bore. machined brass cage, outer-ring-centred (suffix MA), which guides on the outer ring rather than on the balls. Envelope 95×170×32 mm (3.74×6.693×1.26 in), 37.5 mm radial section height, C 212 kN, C0 232 kN, Pu 8.5 kN.SKF publishes only the 6,700 r/min limiting speed for this execution, catalogue mass 3350 g. The 8.5 kN fatigue load limit is the equivalent-load floor for long-life adjustment; with 212/232 kN ratings and 3350 g mass this execution carries about 2.23 kN of C per millimetre of bore. Selection figures for QJ 219 N2MA: the static-to-dynamic ratio C0/C is 1.09, Pu 8.5 kN is about 4 % of C, and catalogue mass works out to roughly 35 g per millimetre of bore. Bore-to-OD planning: OD 170 over bore 95 is a 1.79× step for this size, and the 32 mm width gives a bore/width ratio of 2.97; use these ratios when housing space around the 95 mm shaft is the first constraint. Locating-slot execution: the two N2 notches are milled into one outer-ring side face exactly 180 degrees apart and engaged by housing dogs or headed pins during assembly; verify dog engagement by hand before the cover goes on, deburr the slot edges after any housing rework, and re-inspect the slot roots for fretting marks at each overhaul because a dog that rides only one slot lets the outer ring walk. The slots identify this order number unmistakably: the plain MA/PHAS execution of the same bore has no notches and must be secured differently.

Typical equipment & failure modes

Common applications

  • crane travel and hoist drives
  • turret and slewing drives
  • paper-machine calender stacks

Known failure patterns

  • outer-ring creep and seat fretting where a N2-locating-slot bearing is not positively stopped
  • axial over-travel when the outer ring is clamped instead of left with radial clearance and a small end-play gap
  • locating-slot root fretting or dog wear when only one N2 notch carries the anti-rotation torque
  • raceway staining from water in the lubricant during idle periods
  • electrical pitting on VFD-driven shafts without grounding protection

Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute

  • The inner ring is two-piece: handle both halves together, mount square, and do not separate the split ring unless the fitting procedure requires it.
  • Engage the N2 slots with housing dogs at assembly — a radially loose outer ring without positive anti-rotation creeps its seat
  • Provide a minimum axial load (spring preload is common) so the balls stay correctly seated at speed and light-load conditions; otherwise they skid.
  • Anti-rotation is built into QJ-219-N2MA: check the two N2 slot faces and the engaging housing dogs at every refit, and never rely on cover friction to stop the radially loose outer ring.
  • The MA brass cage of QJ-219-N2MA is outer-ring-centred: its guide land needs an uninterrupted oil film, so check lubricant reach when the bearing is used purely as a thrust location.
  • Catalogue ratings are SKF PUB BU/P1 17000 figures for QJ 219 N2MA as the qj slotted execution; the other order numbers of the QJ 219 size are different products and may carry different ratings — always quote the full designation when purchasing.

Frequently asked questions

What are the dimensions and catalogue data of QJ-219-N2MA?

QJ 219 N2MA measures 95 mm bore × 170 mm OD × 32 mm width (3.74 × 6.693 × 1.26 in), mass about 3350 g. SKF 17000 ratings: C 212 kN, C0 232 kN, Pu 8.5 kN, SKF publishes only the 6,700 r/min limiting speed for this execution.

What does the N2MA suffix mean?

QJ identifies a four-point contact ball bearing with a two-piece inner ring: the gothic-arch raceways seat each ball at four points, giving axial location in both directions while a paired radial bearing carries the radial load. N2 marks two locating slots, 180° apart, in one outer-ring side face: pins or dogs engage the slots to stop the outer ring turning in its radially-clear housing bore. machined brass cage, outer-ring-centred (suffix MA), which guides on the outer ring rather than on the balls.

How is a QJ four-point bearing mounted?

As a thrust/locating bearing with radial clearance in the housing, paired with a separate radial bearing (commonly a cylindrical roller bearing): the QJ locates the shaft axially in both directions, the radial bearing carries radial load. Keep the outer ring unclamped with a small end-play gap; N2 slot executions use dogs to stop the outer ring turning.

What does QJ mean in QJ 219 N2MA?

QJ is SKF's four-point contact design: a two-piece inner ring and gothic-arch raceways so each ball contacts at four points, giving bidirectional axial location with limited radial capacity — it must see Fa/Fr ≥ 1,27 for correct ball contact.
