How the NNCF5005-CV model number is decoded
Ordering number SKF NNCF 5005 CV resolves to a 25×47×30 mm double-row full-complement cylindrical roller bearing (dimension series 50 (compact heavy section, wide)); a non-separable double-row full complement bearing with three integral flanges on the inner ring and one retaining ring in the outer ring; the outer ring also has an annular lubrication groove with holes. Structurally, the NNCF design has a non-separable double-row full complement bearing with three integral flanges on the inner ring and one retaining ring in the outer ring; the outer ring also has an annular lubrication groove with holes. In arrangement terms it is one-direction locating: the retained outer ring guides the shaft axially in one direction. Suffix CV 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 full complement of extra rollers fitted in place of a cage is reflected in the published speeds and temperature limits. Load-per-bore for the 25 mm seat is about 2.38 kN/mm, typical of dimension series 50 (compact heavy section, wide); use C0 71 kN for static checks such as crane hook blocks standing under load. Assembly note: the retaining ring must never be loaded axially in operation; route relubrication through the outer-ring groove and keep the unit non-separable during handling. 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
- small sheave and rope-pulley supports
- crane sheave and hook-block hubs
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 between the uncaged rollers during slow skidding starts under heavy static load
- polymer cage cracking or softening after sustained running above 120 °C or with incompatible lubricant
- roller-end scoring from inadequate oil flow in the roller-raceway contact
- uneven row loading from misalignment, concentrating fatigue on one row of the double complement
- 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
- The NNCF/NNCL/NNC triplet shares the envelope and ratings but differs in outer-ring retention — one retaining ring, none, or two; selecting the wrong one changes the axial-locating scheme.
- Relubrication must reach both roller rows through the annular groove; blocked lube holes starve one row silently and show later as asymmetric raceway wear.
- Catalogue reference and limiting speeds are different criteria: observe the mechanical ceiling even when thermal calculations allow more.
- Press-fit force goes through ring faces only; driving a ring home through the rollers brinells the 47 mm raceway.
- The 59.4/71 kN ratings are SKF catalogue 17000 (2018) values for the CV 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 NNCF5005-CV?
SKF NNCF 5005 CV is a double-row full-complement cylindrical roller bearing with 25 mm bore, 47 mm OD and 30 mm width per ISO 15. SKF lists C 59.4 kN, C0 71 kN, Pu 7.65 kN, reference speed 7,000 r/min and limiting speed 9,000 r/min, mass about 230 g.
What does the NNCF designation and CV suffix mean?
Suffix CV 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 non-separable double-row full complement bearing with three integral flanges on the inner ring and one retaining ring in the outer ring; the outer ring also has an annular lubrication groove with holes.
Can NNCF5005-CV take axial load and locate the shaft?
In one direction, via the retained outer ring; the retaining ring is not a load path for continuous thrust.
How does NNCF5005-CV compare with the other executions in the same envelope?
NNCF (one outer retaining ring, one-direction guidance), NNCL (no retaining ring, floating outer ring) and NNC (retaining rings both sides, two-direction location) share the ISO envelope and ratings but are not interchangeable in a locating arrangement.
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.
