How the NJ264 model number is decoded
NJ264 is the standard section of the NTN NJ200 dimension series for a 320 mm shaft — 1780 kN of basic dynamic capacity in a 109000 g, open bearing. Numbering ties NJ264 to its envelope: type code NJ, series NJ200, 320 mm bore; the 580×92 mm outline therefore swaps dimensionally with other ISO 15 bearings of the same code, though rib arrangements differ by prefix. The 92 mm width and 130.0 mm section put the NJ200 series in the standard section; wide 22/23 variants at the same bore change OD, width and heat generation and are not drop-in swaps. Selection arithmetic: Pu 186 kN is the fatigue load limit feeding the adjusted-life equation, and the C0/C ratio of 1.34 (2390/1780 kN) shows the high-static-capacity proportioning of this 320 mm bore. Housing and shaft fillets must clear the ring chamfers of NJ264; an oversized radius locks the ring on its face and tilts the 92 mm-wide seat.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- wind-turbine gearbox planet and rotor shafts
- ship propulsion line shafts and reduction gears
- mining SAG/ball-mill drive shafts
- offshore drawworks and winch drums
Known failure patterns
- roller smearing (microwelding) at start-up before the oil film builds under insufficient radial load
- cage distortion after a mounting blow carried through the roller set
- roller-end and raceway scoring from inadequate oil flow under heavy radial load
- false brinelling on standby machines exposed to external vibration
- fretting corrosion on a loose rotating shaft seat
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- At 320 mm bore, oil-lubricated arrangements toward 1,200 r/min need positive flow and drain design; the 109000 g NJ264 ring stores enough heat that grease-only duty needs a careful relubrication calculation.
- The EA high-capacity roller complement changes the load figure versus the basic execution of the same number; the 1780/2390 kN pair here belongs to NJ264 as printed, not to the bare size.
- The EA high-capacity roller complement changes the load figure versus the basic execution of the same number; the 1780/2390 kN pair here belongs to NJ264 as printed, not to the bare size.
- Do not replace NJ264 with a deep-groove ball bearing on rating alone: line contact gives 1780 kN radial capacity but the bearing cannot carry the thrust duty a ball bearing can and misalignment tolerance is only 3–4 arc-minutes.
- Open NJ264 units need application-supplied sealing and a defined lubricant schedule; film thickness is the first failure mode for line contact when viscosity drops at the 320 mm contact.
- The 1780/2390 kN ratings, 186 kN Pu and 109000 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for NJ264 (standard 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 NJ264?
NJ264 is an NTN NJ single-row cylindrical roller bearing to ISO 15: 320 mm bore, 580 mm OD and 92 mm width (12.598 × 22.835 × 3.622 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 1780 kN, C0 2390 kN, Pu 186 kN, grease limiting speed 1,000 r/min, oil 1,200 r/min, mass about 109000 g. It is open, with a 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. NJ264 is two integral ribs on the inner ring and one rib on the outer ring — it locates the shaft in one axial direction.
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. NJ264 is supplied in the standard open execution shown in the table.
Can NJ264 take axial load and locate a shaft?
the NJ design accepts axial load in one direction and provides one-way shaft location. For two-direction location use an NUP execution or an NJ pair with loose rib rings.
What do Fw and Ew mean for NJ264?
Fw is the inner sub-assembly raceway/roller-set envelope diameter and Ew the outer-ring raceway diameter printed for geometric checks: Fw 390 mm, Ew 510 mm. The nominal bore/OD remain 320/580 mm; Fw/Ew describe the rolling-contact path, and speeds still run to 1,000 r/min grease / 1,200 r/min oil.
