How the N2213EA model number is decoded
N2213EA belongs to the NTN cylindrical roller range in NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E, under the ＊ ULTAGE new-generation specification: line-contact rollers between ground raceways for a 176 kN dynamic rating in the 65 mm bore. On the NTN nameplate N states which ring carries the ribs, which determines whether N2213EA floats or locates; the numeric remainder is the ISO 15 series and 65 mm bore reference, not a fit or clearance instruction. NTN prints two speed ceilings: 4,800 r/min grease and 6,700 r/min oil — the pressed-steel cage and lubricant film set the real limit at the 65 mm bore. Selection arithmetic: Pu 22.1 kN is the fatigue load limit feeding the adjusted-life equation, and the C0/C ratio of 1.03 (181/176 kN) shows the high-static-capacity proportioning of this 65 mm bore. Mount the separable inner ring + roller assembly on the shaft first and slide the outer ring into the housing; never press the outer ring through the rollers of N2213EA.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- large pump, turbine and compressor rotors
- rolling-mill auxiliary drive shafts
- crusher and vibrating-screen drive shafts
- marine gearbox and deck-machinery shafts
Known failure patterns
- inner-ring raceway spalling from overload in the line-contact Hertzian zone
- cage wear accelerated when the EA high-capacity roller complement runs continuously above its thermal balance
- grease starvation and cage drag when relubrication intervals are extended past the grease life
- hard-particle indentation of raceways in unfiltered oil or open arrangements
- fretting corrosion on a loose rotating shaft seat
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Induction-heat the 65 mm inner ring (max 120 °C) and mount it before fitting the outer ring; the ring mass makes square guidance essential — driving through the rollers brinells the 120 mm raceway.
- If the shaft must be located both ways, do not use N2213EA alone: pair it with a locating bearing or specify the NUP execution with the matching loose rib ring from the 2203E table.
- Minimum radial load is frequently missed in oversized motor and fan selections: an underloaded N2213EA skids at 4,800 r/min and fails by smearing long before L10 fatigue.
- The 27.5 mm section at 65 mm bore leaves a narrow oil path; with the EA pressed-steel-cage cage the relubrication groove and oil-level design must keep grease from churning in the 31 mm-wide cavity.
- If the shaft must be located both ways, do not use N2213EA alone: pair it with a locating bearing or specify the NUP execution with the matching loose rib ring from the 2203E table.
- The 176/181 kN ratings, 22.1 kN Pu and 1440 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for N2213EA (EA pressed-steel-cage execution); other makes sharing the ISO 15 envelope revise internal geometry without changing the order number, so keep the 2203E reference with the specification for critical drives.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of N2213EA?
N2213EA is an NTN N single-row cylindrical roller bearing to ISO 15: 65 mm bore, 120 mm OD and 31 mm width (2.559 × 4.724 × 1.22 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 176 kN, C0 181 kN, Pu 22.1 kN, grease limiting speed 4,800 r/min, oil 6,700 r/min, mass about 1440 g. It is open, with the EA high-capacity pressed sheet-steel cage.
What is the difference between NU, NJ, NUP, N and NF cylindrical roller bearings?
The prefix states the rib arrangement: NU has two outer-ring ribs and a ribless inner ring (float, no axial load); NJ adds ribs for one-direction location; NUP adds a loose L-ring to locate both directions; N has two inner-ring ribs and a separable outer ring; NF has one rib per ring for one-direction guidance. N2213EA is two integral ribs on the inner ring and a ribless separable outer ring — equivalent float behaviour with the separable ring on the housing side.
What do the EA, E and ＊ suffixes mean on NTN cylindrical roller bearings?
EA is NTN's high-capacity design with a pressed sheet-steel cage and optimised roller complement in the same ISO 15 envelope; E marks the high-capacity design at the larger bores; the ＊ symbol printed before the code in the NTN catalogue marks the ULTAGE new-generation specification and is not typed as part of the order number. This page's bearing carries the EA pressed-steel-cage execution.
Can N2213EA take axial load and locate a shaft?
the N design is non-locating like NU but floats with the separable outer ring in the housing. Provide axial location with an adjacent locating bearing (angular-contact, deep-groove or a paired NJ/NUP set).
What do Fw and Ew mean for N2213EA?
Fw is the inner sub-assembly raceway/roller-set envelope diameter and Ew the outer-ring raceway diameter printed for geometric checks: Fw 78.5 mm, Ew 108.5 mm. The nominal bore/OD remain 65/120 mm; Fw/Ew describe the rolling-contact path, and speeds still run to 4,800 r/min grease / 6,700 r/min oil.
