How the NCF29-670-V model number is decoded
NCF29-670-V is the 670 mm bore entry in the NCF2900 range: a 670×900×136 mm single-row full-complement cylindrical roller bearing with a full complement of extra rollers fitted in place of a cage, rated C 3910 kN / C0 9000 kN. The NCF configuration means a non-separable single-row full complement bearing with two integral flanges on the inner ring, one integral flange on the outer ring and a retaining ring opposite that flange holding the assembly together; functionally the bearing is one-direction locating: the integral outer-ring flange locates the shaft in one direction; the retaining ring side must not be used to guide axial displacement. Suffix V identifies the full-complement execution: the space a cage would occupy is filled with extra rollers, trading speed for maximum radial capacity and stiffness. The full complement of extra rollers fitted in place of a cage is reflected in the published speeds and temperature limits. Selection arithmetic: C0/C ≈ 2.30 (9000 against 3910 kN), and the Pu figure 630 kN is the fatigue load-limit floor for the SKF life equation; the catalogue lists 260 r/min thermal reference speed and 320 r/min mechanical limiting speed. Assembly note: uncaged rollers demand adequate minimum load and gentle acceleration; do not load the retaining ring axially and relubricate generously to prevent roller smearing. Heat steel rings inductively to max 120 °C, and never wash a full-complement unit in a way that displaces rollers.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- mining crusher eccentric shafts
- heavy offshore winch drums
- large rolling-mill and continuous-caster drives
Known failure patterns
- inner-ring raceway spalling from overload or contamination in the line-contact hertz zone
- outer-ring raceway fatigue after extended service at loads above the catalogue L10 rating
- roller smearing (microwelding) in the full complement during skidding at light load or rapid acceleration
- polymer cage cracking or softening after sustained running above 120 °C or with incompatible lubricant
- roller-end scoring from inadequate oil flow in the roller-raceway contact
- edge loading and roller-end scoring when the minimum radial load is not maintained at standstill
- false brinelling on standby machines exposed to external vibration
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Full-complement bearings trade speed for capacity: the 320 r/min ceiling is far below a caged bearing of the same envelope, and running faster smears the uncaged rollers.
- Keep minimum radial load high (typically ≥0,02 C) for a full-complement unit; at light load the rollers skid and microweld within the first service interval.
- Press-fit force goes through ring faces only; driving a ring home through the rollers brinells the 900 mm raceway.
- Press-fit force goes through ring faces only; driving a ring home through the rollers brinells the 900 mm raceway.
- The 3910/9000 kN ratings are SKF catalogue 17000 (2018) values for the V execution; re-verify against the current catalogue for critical drives and keep the catalogue version with the specification.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of NCF29-670-V?
SKF NCF 29/670 V is a single-row full-complement cylindrical roller bearing with 670 mm bore, 900 mm OD and 136 mm width per ISO 15. SKF lists C 3910 kN, C0 9000 kN, Pu 630 kN, reference speed 260 r/min and limiting speed 320 r/min, mass about 245000 g.
What does the NCF designation and V suffix mean?
Suffix V identifies the full-complement execution: the space a cage would occupy is filled with extra rollers, trading speed for maximum radial capacity and stiffness. Structurally this execution has a non-separable single-row full complement bearing with two integral flanges on the inner ring, one integral flange on the outer ring and a retaining ring opposite that flange holding the assembly together.
Can NCF29-670-V take axial load and locate the shaft?
In one direction, against the integral outer-ring flange side. The retaining ring holds the bearing together and must not be axially loaded.
How does NCF29-670-V compare with the other executions in the same envelope?
The full-complement NCF/NJG bearings replace the cage with extra rollers for higher radial capacity and stiffness at a substantially lower speed than caged bearings.
What limits the service life of this bearing most often?
On full-complement bearings the dominant risks are roller smearing from skidding below minimum load and contamination; maintain minimum radial load, keep lubricant film thick and accelerate gently.
