How the NU2219-ECP model number is decoded
SKF NU 2219 ECP is a single-row caged cylindrical roller bearing sized 95×170×43 mm — a dimension series 22 (light-section, wide), listed in SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000 ch. 6.1. The NU configuration means 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; functionally the bearing is non-locating: the inner ring assembly can float axially in both directions and the bearing cannot support axial load. The ECP suffix marks the E-design execution with a glass-fibre reinforced polyamide (PA66) cage, limited to 120 °C continuous. The glass-fibre reinforced polyamide (PA66) window-type cage is reflected in the published speeds and temperature limits. With C 325 kN and C0 375 kN, size the bearing on the 95×170 mm ISO 15 envelope and check the 45.5 kN Pu against the equivalent-load floor; the catalogue lists 4,300 r/min thermal reference speed and 4,800 r/min mechanical limiting speed. Fit practice for NU2219-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
- rolling-mill auxiliary drive shafts
- paper-machine press rolls
- cement-plant conveyor drives
- heavy gearbox and pinion 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
- false brinelling on standby machines exposed to external vibration
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 22 (light-section, wide) envelope is shared with the N/NU/NJ/NUP executions of 2219, but flange configuration and axial-locating behaviour differ — quote the full SKF NU 2219 ECP and do not substitute rib styles without checking the shaft locating scheme.
- Press-fit force goes through ring faces only; driving a ring home through the rollers brinells the 170 mm raceway.
- Catalogue reference and limiting speeds are different criteria: observe the mechanical ceiling even when thermal calculations allow more.
- The 325/375 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 NU2219-ECP?
SKF NU 2219 ECP is a single-row caged cylindrical roller bearing with 95 mm bore, 170 mm OD and 43 mm width per ISO 15. SKF lists C 325 kN, C0 375 kN, Pu 45.5 kN, reference speed 4,300 r/min and limiting speed 4,800 r/min, mass about 3800 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 NU2219-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 NU2219-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.
