How the NJ310-ECP model number is decoded
NJ310-ECP is the 50 mm bore entry in the NJ300 range: a 50×110×27 mm single-row caged cylindrical roller bearing with a glass-fibre reinforced polyamide (PA66) window-type cage, rated C 127 kN / C0 112 kN. The NJ configuration means two integral flanges on the inner ring and no flanges on the outer ring; the inner ring retains the roller set; functionally the bearing is 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. Load-per-bore for the 50 mm seat is about 2.54 kN/mm, typical of dimension series 3 (medium-section ISO 15 envelope); use C0 112 kN for static checks such as crane hook blocks standing under load. Mounting: 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. A 50 mm seat normally takes a k5 interference with an H7 housing bore when the inner ring rotates.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- conveyor drive-pulley shafts
- medium industrial gearbox shafts
- electric-motor shafts in pumps and fans
- compressor crank and rotor 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
- edge loading from shaft deflection beyond the bearing alignment limit (≈ 3-4 minutes of arc for single-row CRB)
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 3 (medium-section ISO 15 envelope) envelope is shared with the N/NU/NJ/NUP executions of 310, but flange configuration and axial-locating behaviour differ — quote the full SKF NJ 310 ECP and do not substitute rib styles without checking the shaft locating scheme.
- Press-fit force goes through ring faces only; driving a ring home through the rollers brinells the 110 mm raceway.
- Press-fit force goes through ring faces only; driving a ring home through the rollers brinells the 110 mm raceway.
- The 127/112 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 NJ310-ECP?
SKF NJ 310 ECP is a single-row caged cylindrical roller bearing with 50 mm bore, 110 mm OD and 27 mm width per ISO 15. SKF lists C 127 kN, C0 112 kN, Pu 15 kN, reference speed 6,700 r/min and limiting speed 8,000 r/min, mass about 1150 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 NJ310-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 NJ310-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.
