How the NJG2330-VH model number is decoded
For a 150 mm shaft, SKF lists NJG2330-VH as single-row full-complement cylindrical roller: 320 mm OD, 108 mm wide, Pu 196 kN, the catalogue lists 800 r/min thermal reference speed and 1,000 r/min mechanical limiting speed. The NJG configuration means 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; functionally the bearing is 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. With C 1450 kN and C0 1930 kN, size the bearing on the 150×320 mm ISO 15 envelope and check the 196 kN Pu against the equivalent-load floor; the catalogue lists 800 r/min thermal reference speed and 1,000 r/min mechanical limiting speed. Mounting: 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. A 150 mm seat normally takes a m6 interference with an H6 housing bore when the inner ring rotates.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- mining crusher eccentric shafts
- heavy offshore winch drums
- large rolling-mill and continuous-caster 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
- polymer cage cracking or softening after sustained running above 120 °C or with incompatible lubricant
- 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 1,000 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.
- Press-fit force goes through ring faces only; driving a ring home through the rollers brinells the 320 mm raceway.
- Press-fit force goes through ring faces only; driving a ring home through the rollers brinells the 320 mm raceway.
- The 1450/1930 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 NJG2330-VH?
SKF NJG 2330 VH is a single-row full-complement cylindrical roller bearing with 150 mm bore, 320 mm OD and 108 mm width per ISO 15. SKF lists C 1450 kN, C0 1930 kN, Pu 196 kN, reference speed 800 r/min and limiting speed 1,000 r/min, mass about 42500 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 NJG2330-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 NJG2330-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.
