How the NJ219-ECP model number is decoded
For a 95 mm shaft, SKF lists NJ219-ECP as single-row caged cylindrical roller: 170 mm OD, 32 mm wide, Pu 32.5 kN, the catalogue lists 4,300 r/min thermal reference speed and 4,800 r/min mechanical limiting speed. Reading the NJ prefix: two integral flanges on the inner ring and no flanges on the outer ring; the inner ring retains the roller set. This makes the execution able to locate the shaft axially in one direction; an HJ angle ring on the opposite side converts it into two-direction location. The ECP suffix marks the E-design execution with a glass-fibre reinforced polyamide (PA66) cage, limited to 120 °C continuous. With C 255 kN and C0 265 kN, size the bearing on the 95×170 mm ISO 15 envelope and check the 32.5 kN Pu against the equivalent-load floor; the catalogue lists 4,300 r/min thermal reference speed and 4,800 r/min mechanical limiting speed. Assembly note: orient the inner-ring flange side toward the axial load direction; if an HJ angle ring is used, verify its fit and clearance before locking the arrangement. Heat steel rings inductively to max 120 °C — the PA66 cage sets the ceiling.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- rolling-mill auxiliary drive shafts
- paper-machine press rolls
- cement-plant conveyor drives
- heavy gearbox and pinion shafts
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
- polymer cage softening above 120 °C
- cage pocket wear from roller skidding at insufficient radial load or during start-up before oil film build-up
- roller-end scoring from inadequate oil flow in the roller-raceway contact
- edge-loading fatigue after shaft deflection beyond the 3–4 minute alignment limit
- false brinelling on standby machines exposed to external vibration
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Do not use a NJ bearing where two-direction axial location is required without an HJ angle ring
- The dimension series 2 (light-section ISO 15 envelope) envelope is shared with the N/NU/NJ/NUP executions of 219, but flange configuration and axial-locating behaviour differ — quote the full SKF NJ 219 ECP and do not substitute rib styles without checking the shaft locating scheme.
- Shaft and housing fillets must clear the bearing chamfers; an oversized radius tilts the 32 mm-wide ring and concentrates load.
- Catalogue reference and limiting speeds are different criteria: observe the mechanical ceiling even when thermal calculations allow more.
- The 255/265 kN ratings are SKF catalogue 17000 (2018) values for the ECP 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 NJ219-ECP?
SKF NJ 219 ECP is a single-row caged cylindrical roller bearing with 95 mm bore, 170 mm OD and 32 mm width per ISO 15. SKF lists C 255 kN, C0 265 kN, Pu 32.5 kN, reference speed 4,300 r/min and limiting speed 4,800 r/min, mass about 2900 g.
What does the NJ designation and ECP suffix mean?
The ECP suffix marks the E-design execution with a glass-fibre reinforced polyamide (PA66) cage, limited to 120 °C continuous. Structurally this execution has two integral flanges on the inner ring and no flanges on the outer ring; the inner ring retains the roller set.
Can NJ219-ECP take axial load and locate the shaft?
In one direction only, via the two inner-ring flanges. Add an HJ angle ring on the opposite side for two-direction location.
How does NJ219-ECP compare with the other executions in the same envelope?
The N/NU/NJ/NUP executions share the ISO 15 envelope and load ratings but differ in flange arrangement and axial-locating behaviour; quote the exact order number.
What limits the service life of this bearing most often?
Line-contact fatigue above the L10 rating, cage wear at light loads and high temperatures, and edge loading from misalignment beyond about 3–4 minutes of arc are the typical failure drivers.
