How the NF2307EA model number is decoded
In NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E, NF2307EA appears as a 35 mm bore single-row cylindrical roller bearing (117 kN C / 109 kN C0) with the EA high-capacity pressed sheet-steel cage, listed to the ISO 15 boundary plan. Digit by digit, NF2307EA reads as NF (one rib on each ring), ISO 15 series, and bore 35 mm; trailing letters such as EA or E mark the cage/capacity execution and are part of the order number. The 22.5 mm radial section ((80−35)/2) frames the roller complement; capacity per millimetre of bore is about 3.3 kN/mm before application factors. Selection arithmetic: Pu 13.3 kN is the fatigue load limit feeding the adjusted-life equation, and the C0/C ratio of 0.93 (109/117 kN) shows the high-static-capacity proportioning of this 35 mm bore. Heat the inner ring to max 120 °C for the 35 mm interference fit and support the ring face square during fitting; cocking over a keyway brinells the raceway before first rotation.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- industrial gearbox input and output shafts
- medium electric-motor and generator shafts
- pump and compressor crankshafts and rotors
- machine-tool gearbox and spindle radial sets
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
- roller-end and raceway scoring from inadequate oil flow under heavy radial load
- 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
- On this 35 mm bore, shaft thermal growth can preload the inner ring if the fit is too tight; verify residual interference at temperature and confirm the float ring still slides after mounting NF2307EA.
- Minimum radial load is frequently missed in oversized motor and fan selections: an underloaded NF2307EA skids at 7,200 r/min and fails by smearing long before L10 fatigue.
- Wide (22/23) and light (10/49) executions at 35 mm bore share bore but not OD/width; check the full NF2300 series code before substituting, because housing and shoulder geometry will not interchange.
- Never press either ring through the roller complement when fitting: mounting force goes through the ring faces, or the 80 mm race brinells and releases as vibration within hours.
- The 22.5 mm section at 35 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.
- The 117/109 kN ratings, 13.3 kN Pu and 737 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for NF2307EA (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 NF2307EA?
NF2307EA is an NTN NF single-row cylindrical roller bearing to ISO 15: 35 mm bore, 80 mm OD and 31 mm width (1.378 × 3.15 × 1.22 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 117 kN, C0 109 kN, Pu 13.3 kN, grease limiting speed 7,200 r/min, oil 10,200 r/min, mass about 737 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. NF2307EA is one integral rib on each ring — separable inner ring with single-direction axial guidance and a defined shaft position.
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 NF2307EA take axial load and locate a shaft?
the NF design gives one-direction axial guidance via its single outer-ring rib. The loose rib ring still only suits light/short-duration axial guidance; heavy thrust belongs to a dedicated thrust bearing.
What do Fw and Ew mean for NF2307EA?
Fw is the inner sub-assembly raceway/roller-set envelope diameter and Ew the outer-ring raceway diameter printed for geometric checks: Fw 46.2 mm, Ew 70.2 mm. The nominal bore/OD remain 35/80 mm; Fw/Ew describe the rolling-contact path, and speeds still run to 7,200 r/min grease / 10,200 r/min oil.
