How the NJ2313 model number is decoded

NJ2313 is an NTN NJ cylindrical roller bearing: two integral ribs on the inner ring and one rib on the outer ring — it locates the shaft in one axial direction, inside the 65×140×48 mm ISO 15 envelope. Digit by digit, NJ2313 reads as NJ (inner ring two ribs + one outer rib), 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. NTN prints two speed ceilings: 4,400 r/min grease and 5,200 r/min oil — the pressed-steel cage and lubricant film set the real limit at the 65 mm bore. The 65 mm (2.559 in) bore and 140 mm (5.512 in) OD are ISO 15 boundary values; fillet and shoulder dimensions must still come from the NTN mounting table for the 48 mm-wide ring. Heat the inner ring to max 120 °C for the 65 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

  • 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
  • cage distortion after a mounting blow carried through the roller set
  • grease starvation and cage drag when relubrication intervals are extended past the grease life
  • hard-particle indentation of raceways in unfiltered oil or open arrangements
  • fretting corrosion on a loose rotating shaft seat

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.
  • The EA high-capacity roller complement changes the load figure versus the basic execution of the same number; the 208/212 kN pair here belongs to NJ2313 as printed, not to the bare size.
  • Do not replace NJ2313 with a deep-groove ball bearing on rating alone: line contact gives 208 kN radial capacity but the bearing cannot carry the thrust duty a ball bearing can and misalignment tolerance is only 3–4 arc-minutes.
  • The EA high-capacity roller complement changes the load figure versus the basic execution of the same number; the 208/212 kN pair here belongs to NJ2313 as printed, not to the bare size.
  • If the shaft must be located both ways, do not use NJ2313 alone: pair it with a locating bearing or specify the NUP execution with the matching loose rib ring from the 2203E table.
  • The 208/212 kN ratings, 25.7 kN Pu and 3200 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for NJ2313 (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 NJ2313?

NJ2313 is an NTN NJ 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 208 kN, C0 212 kN, Pu 25.7 kN, grease limiting speed 4,400 r/min, oil 5,200 r/min, mass about 3200 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. NJ2313 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. NJ2313 is listed among the * ULTAGE-marked executions in 2203E.

Can NJ2313 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 NJ2313?

Fw is the inner sub-assembly raceway/roller-set envelope diameter and Ew the outer-ring raceway diameter printed for geometric checks: Fw 83.5 mm, Ew 121.5 mm. The nominal bore/OD remain 65/140 mm; Fw/Ew describe the rolling-contact path, and speeds still run to 4,400 r/min grease / 5,200 r/min oil.
