How the NNCL4930-CV model number is decoded
In SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000, SKF NNCL 4930 CV denotes a double-row full-complement cylindrical roller bearing on the ISO 15 150×210×60 mm envelope, dimension series 49 (compact heavy section), with catalogue mass 6450 g. Structurally, the NNCL design has a double-row full complement bearing with three integral flanges on the inner ring and no retaining ring in the smooth outer ring, which is free to pass over the roller set. In arrangement terms it is non-locating: the outer ring can be displaced axially, like an NN design, to absorb shaft expansion. 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. Speed planning for NNCL4930-CV: the catalogue lists 1,400 r/min thermal reference speed and 1,700 r/min mechanical limiting speed. The mass entry 6450 g covers the complete catalogue execution. Fit practice for NNCL4930-CV: treat the outer ring as the floating element; keep the inner ring with its three flanges square on the shaft and relubricate through the outer-ring groove. Single-row cylindrical rollers tolerate only about 3–4 minutes of arc misalignment, so verify shaft and housing alignment.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- mining shovel and dragline pivots
- steelmaking and heavy crane sheaves
- large offshore winch and hook blocks
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
- 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
- uneven row loading from misalignment, concentrating fatigue on one row of the double complement
- rolling-contact fatigue spalling after the rated L10 life is exceeded
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.
- Shaft and housing fillets must clear the bearing chamfers; an oversized radius tilts the 60 mm-wide ring and concentrates load.
- The 429/830 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 NNCL4930-CV?
SKF NNCL 4930 CV is a double-row full-complement cylindrical roller bearing with 150 mm bore, 210 mm OD and 60 mm width per ISO 15. SKF lists C 429 kN, C0 830 kN, Pu 91.5 kN, reference speed 1,400 r/min and limiting speed 1,700 r/min, mass about 6450 g.
What does the NNCL 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 double-row full complement bearing with three integral flanges on the inner ring and no retaining ring in the smooth outer ring, which is free to pass over the roller set.
Can NNCL4930-CV take axial load and locate the shaft?
No — the smooth outer ring floats, making NNCL the non-locating member of the arrangement.
How does NNCL4930-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.
