How the NU1009-ECP model number is decoded
In SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000, SKF NU 1009 ECP denotes a single-row caged cylindrical roller bearing on the ISO 15 45×75×16 mm envelope, dimension series 10 (extra-slim OD, normal width), with catalogue mass 250 g. Structurally, the NU design has two integral flanges on the outer ring and no flanges on the inner ring, so the inner ring together with the roller set is separable. In arrangement terms it is non-locating: the inner ring assembly can float axially in both directions and the bearing cannot support axial load. Reading the order-string suffix ECP: the E-design execution with a glass-fibre reinforced polyamide (PA66) cage, limited to 120 °C continuous. With C 44.6 kN and C0 52 kN, size the bearing on the 45×75 mm ISO 15 envelope and check the 6.3 kN Pu against the equivalent-load floor; the catalogue lists 11,000 r/min thermal reference speed and 11,000 r/min mechanical limiting speed. Fit practice for NU1009-ECP: fit the inner ring and roller assembly onto the shaft and the outer ring into the housing independently; thermal expansion is absorbed by axial float, so do not trap the inner ring between shaft shoulders. 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
- compressor crank and rotor shafts
- machine-tool radial spindle supports
- conveyor drive-pulley shafts
- medium industrial gearbox shafts
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
- polymer cage softening above 120 °C
- 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 fatigue after shaft deflection beyond the 3–4 minute alignment limit
- hard-particle indentation of the raceway in unfiltered oil systems
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Do not use a NU bearing where axial load must be carried — the design carries radial load only
- The dimension series 10 (extra-slim OD, normal width) envelope is shared with the N/NU/NJ/NUP executions of 1009, but flange configuration and axial-locating behaviour differ — quote the full SKF NU 1009 ECP and do not substitute rib styles without checking the shaft locating scheme.
- 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 75 mm raceway.
- The 44.6/52 kN ratings are SKF catalogue 17000 (2018) values for the ECP 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 NU1009-ECP?
SKF NU 1009 ECP is a single-row caged cylindrical roller bearing with 45 mm bore, 75 mm OD and 16 mm width per ISO 15. SKF lists C 44.6 kN, C0 52 kN, Pu 6.3 kN, reference speed 11,000 r/min and limiting speed 11,000 r/min, mass about 250 g.
What does the NU designation and ECP suffix mean?
The ECP suffix marks the E-design execution with a glass-fibre reinforced polyamide (PA66) cage, limited to 120 °C continuous. Structurally this execution has two integral flanges on the outer ring and no flanges on the inner ring, so the inner ring together with the roller set is separable.
Can NU1009-ECP take axial load and locate the shaft?
No — the inner ring has no flanges, so the NU bearing is non-locating and carries radial load only; use NJ (one direction), NUP (both directions) or a paired thrust bearing for axial duty.
How does NU1009-ECP compare with the other executions in the same envelope?
The N/NU/NJ/NUP executions share the ISO 15 envelope and load ratings but differ in flange arrangement and axial-locating behaviour; quote the exact order number.
What limits the service life of this bearing most often?
Line-contact fatigue above the L10 rating, cage wear at light loads and high temperatures, and edge loading from misalignment beyond about 3–4 minutes of arc are the typical failure drivers.
