How the N2313EA model number is decoded
N2313EA is an NTN N cylindrical roller bearing: two integral ribs on the inner ring and a ribless separable outer ring — equivalent float behaviour with the separable ring on the housing side, inside the 65×140×48 mm ISO 15 envelope. Digit by digit, N2313EA reads as N (inner ring ribbed, outer ring ribless), ISO 15 series, and bore 65 mm; trailing letters such as EA or E mark the cage/capacity execution and are part of the order number. At 5,800 r/min with oil versus 4,100 r/min with grease (a 1,700 r/min band), lubrication choice for N2313EA is a thermal decision, not just a sealing one. Mass 3250 g for the 65×140×48 mm N2313EA execution covers the pressed-steel cage and full roller complement; substitute on mass plus rating, not envelope alone. 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 N2313EA.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- marine gearbox and deck-machinery shafts
- large electric-motor and generator rotors
- cement and mining conveyor drive pulleys
- heavy industrial gearbox and reducer shafts
Known failure patterns
- inner-ring raceway spalling from overload in the line-contact Hertzian zone
- pressed-steel cage pocket wear when rollers skid at light load or too-thin lubricant
- grease starvation and cage drag when relubrication intervals are extended past the grease life
- false brinelling on standby machines exposed to external vibration
- edge loading from shaft deflection beyond the 3–4 arc-minute alignment limit
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 140 mm raceway.
- Minimum radial load is frequently missed in oversized motor and fan selections: an underloaded N2313EA skids at 4,100 r/min and fails by smearing long before L10 fatigue.
- The N rib arrangement is not interchangeable with another prefix on the same 65 mm seat: inner ring ribbed, outer ring ribless. Swapping NU for NJ changes axial location behaviour even though the 140×48 mm envelope matches.
- Wide (22/23) and light (10/49) executions at 65 mm bore share bore but not OD/width; check the full N2300 series code before substituting, because housing and shoulder geometry will not interchange.
- Grease limiting speed 4,100 r/min and oil 5,800 r/min are different limits for N2313EA: the first is the cage/lubricant mechanical ceiling, the second assumes real oil flow rather than an oil bath.
- The 293/287 kN ratings, 34.5 kN Pu and 3250 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for N2313EA (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 N2313EA?
N2313EA is an NTN N single-row cylindrical roller bearing to ISO 15: 65 mm bore, 140 mm OD and 48 mm width (2.559 × 5.512 × 1.89 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 293 kN, C0 287 kN, Pu 34.5 kN, grease limiting speed 4,100 r/min, oil 5,800 r/min, mass about 3250 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. N2313EA 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 N2313EA 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 N2313EA?
Fw is the inner sub-assembly raceway/roller-set envelope diameter and Ew the outer-ring raceway diameter printed for geometric checks: Fw 82.5 mm, Ew 124.5 mm. The nominal bore/OD remain 65/140 mm; Fw/Ew describe the rolling-contact path, and speeds still run to 4,100 r/min grease / 5,800 r/min oil.
