How the NJG2317-VH model number is decoded
For a 85 mm shaft, SKF lists NJG2317-VH as single-row full-complement cylindrical roller: 180 mm OD, 60 mm wide, Pu 76.5 kN, the catalogue lists 1,400 r/min thermal reference speed and 1,800 r/min mechanical limiting speed. Reading the NJG prefix: a single-row full complement bearing with two integral flanges on the outer ring and one on the inner ring; the roller set is self-retaining and the outer ring can be lifted off without rollers spilling. This makes the execution one-direction locating: it positions the shaft axially in one direction and accommodates axial displacement in the opposite direction. Suffix VH identifies the full-complement execution: the space a cage would occupy is filled with extra rollers, trading speed for maximum radial capacity and stiffness. The radial section height is 47.5 mm and the catalogue mass 7400 g; at 484 kN dynamic rating this is roughly 5.69 kN of C per millimetre of bore before application factors. Assembly note: low-speed duty only: the uncaged rollers smear when skidding, so keep minimum radial load high, accelerate gently and favour oil bath or grease with high base-oil viscosity. Heat steel rings inductively to max 120 °C, and never wash a full-complement unit in a way that displaces rollers.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- large gearbox slow-speed stages
- rolling-mill auxiliary shafts
- heavy conveyor pulley bearings
- wind turbine rotor-lock and yaw drives
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
- roller smearing (microwelding) in the full complement during skidding at light load or rapid acceleration
- cage pocket wear from roller skidding at insufficient radial load or during start-up before oil film build-up
- surface distress (micro-pitting) when the EHL film falls below the composite roughness at high specific load
- edge loading and roller-end scoring when the minimum radial load is not maintained at standstill
- brinelling from static overload or impact during handling and mounting
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Full-complement bearings trade speed for capacity: the 1,800 r/min ceiling is far below a caged bearing of the same envelope, and running faster smears the uncaged rollers.
- Keep minimum radial load high (typically ≥0,02 C) for a full-complement unit; at light load the rollers skid and microweld within the first service interval.
- Shaft and housing fillets must clear the bearing chamfers; an oversized radius tilts the 60 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 484/620 kN ratings are SKF catalogue 17000 (2018) values for the VH 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 NJG2317-VH?
SKF NJG 2317 VH is a single-row full-complement cylindrical roller bearing with 85 mm bore, 180 mm OD and 60 mm width per ISO 15. SKF lists C 484 kN, C0 620 kN, Pu 76.5 kN, reference speed 1,400 r/min and limiting speed 1,800 r/min, mass about 7400 g.
What does the NJG designation and VH suffix mean?
Suffix VH identifies the full-complement execution: the space a cage would occupy is filled with extra rollers, trading speed for maximum radial capacity and stiffness. Structurally this execution has a single-row full complement bearing with two integral flanges on the outer ring and one on the inner ring; the roller set is self-retaining and the outer ring can be lifted off without rollers spilling.
Can NJG2317-VH take axial load and locate the shaft?
In one direction; the opposite direction accommodates displacement. It is a low-speed full-complement bearing, not a high-speed thrust solution.
How does NJG2317-VH compare with the other executions in the same envelope?
The full-complement NCF/NJG bearings replace the cage with extra rollers for higher radial capacity and stiffness at a substantially lower speed than caged bearings.
What limits the service life of this bearing most often?
On full-complement bearings the dominant risks are roller smearing from skidding below minimum load and contamination; maintain minimum radial load, keep lubricant film thick and accelerate gently.
