How the NNCL4936-CV model number is decoded
Ordering number SKF NNCL 4936 CV resolves to a 180×250×69 mm double-row full-complement cylindrical roller bearing (dimension series 49 (compact heavy section)); 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. 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. Reading the order-string suffix CV: the full-complement execution — extra rollers replace the cage, trading speed for maximum radial capacity and stiffness. With C 594 kN and C0 1220 kN, size the bearing on the 180×250 mm ISO 15 envelope and check the 127 kN Pu against the equivalent-load floor; the catalogue lists 1,100 r/min thermal reference speed and 1,400 r/min mechanical limiting speed. Mounting: 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. A 180 mm seat normally takes a m6 interference with an H6 housing bore when the inner ring rotates.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- large offshore winch and hook blocks
- mining shovel and dragline pivots
- steelmaking and heavy crane sheaves
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
- smearing (microwelding) on roller surfaces during skid starts with insufficient minimum load
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.
- Catalogue reference and limiting speeds are different criteria: observe the mechanical ceiling even when thermal calculations allow more.
- The 594/1220 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 NNCL4936-CV?
SKF NNCL 4936 CV is a double-row full-complement cylindrical roller bearing with 180 mm bore, 250 mm OD and 69 mm width per ISO 15. SKF lists C 594 kN, C0 1220 kN, Pu 127 kN, reference speed 1,100 r/min and limiting speed 1,400 r/min, mass about 10500 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 NNCL4936-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 NNCL4936-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.
