How the NU2314EA model number is decoded
NU2314EA is the extra-wide (23) section of the NTN NU2300 dimension series for a 70 mm shaft — 325 kN of basic dynamic capacity in a 3950 g, open bearing. Digit by digit, NU2314EA reads as NU (outer ring ribbed, inner ring ribless), ISO 15 series, and bore 70 mm; trailing letters such as EA or E mark the cage/capacity execution and are part of the order number. NTN prints two speed ceilings: 3,800 r/min grease and 5,300 r/min oil — the pressed-steel cage and lubricant film set the real limit at the 70 mm bore. With the inner ring rotating, catalogue practice is a k5/m5 shaft seat and an H7/H6 housing; the outer ring must remain free to creep slightly axially in non-locating NU arrangements. Heat the inner ring to max 120 °C for the 70 mm interference fit and support the ring face square during fitting; cocking over a keyway brinells the raceway before first rotation.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- large pump, turbine and compressor rotors
- rolling-mill auxiliary drive shafts
- crusher and vibrating-screen drive shafts
- marine gearbox and deck-machinery shafts
Known failure patterns
- inner-ring raceway spalling from overload in the line-contact Hertzian zone
- pressed-steel cage pocket wear when rollers skid at light load or too-thin lubricant
- micro-pitting when the EHL film falls below the composite roughness at high specific load
- rolling-contact fatigue after the catalogue L10 life is exceeded
- fretting corrosion on a loose rotating shaft seat
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Induction-heat the 70 mm inner ring (max 120 °C) and mount it before fitting the outer ring; the ring mass makes square guidance essential — driving through the rollers brinells the 150 mm raceway.
- The EA high-capacity roller complement changes the load figure versus the basic execution of the same number; the 325/325 kN pair here belongs to NU2314EA as printed, not to the bare size.
- Grease limiting speed 3,800 r/min and oil 5,300 r/min are different limits for NU2314EA: the first is the cage/lubricant mechanical ceiling, the second assumes real oil flow rather than an oil bath.
- Grease limiting speed 3,800 r/min and oil 5,300 r/min are different limits for NU2314EA: the first is the cage/lubricant mechanical ceiling, the second assumes real oil flow rather than an oil bath.
- If the shaft must be located both ways, do not use NU2314EA alone: pair it with a locating bearing or specify the NUP execution with the matching loose rib ring from the 2203E table.
- The 325/325 kN ratings, 38 kN Pu and 3950 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for NU2314EA (EA pressed-steel-cage execution); other makes sharing the ISO 15 envelope revise internal geometry without changing the order number, so keep the 2203E reference with the specification for critical drives.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions and catalogue data of NU2314EA?
NU2314EA is an NTN NU single-row cylindrical roller bearing to ISO 15: 70 mm bore, 150 mm OD and 51 mm width (2.756 × 5.906 × 2.008 in). From NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E: C 325 kN, C0 325 kN, Pu 38 kN, grease limiting speed 3,800 r/min, oil 5,300 r/min, mass about 3950 g. It is open, with the EA high-capacity pressed sheet-steel cage.
What is the difference between NU, NJ, NUP, N and NF cylindrical roller bearings?
The prefix states the rib arrangement: NU has two outer-ring ribs and a ribless inner ring (float, no axial load); NJ adds ribs for one-direction location; NUP adds a loose L-ring to locate both directions; N has two inner-ring ribs and a separable outer ring; NF has one rib per ring for one-direction guidance. NU2314EA is two integral ribs on the outer ring and a ribless, separable inner ring — a non-locating bearing that lets the shaft float axially.
What do the EA, E and ＊ suffixes mean on NTN cylindrical roller bearings?
EA is NTN's high-capacity design with a pressed sheet-steel cage and optimised roller complement in the same ISO 15 envelope; E marks the high-capacity design at the larger bores; the ＊ symbol printed before the code in the NTN catalogue marks the ULTAGE new-generation specification and is not typed as part of the order number. This page's bearing carries the EA pressed-steel-cage execution.
Can NU2314EA take axial load and locate a shaft?
the NU design carries no axial load and floats axially on both sides. Provide axial location with an adjacent locating bearing (angular-contact, deep-groove or a paired NJ/NUP set).
What do Fw and Ew mean for NU2314EA?
Fw is the inner sub-assembly raceway/roller-set envelope diameter and Ew the outer-ring raceway diameter printed for geometric checks: Fw 89 mm, Ew 133 mm. The nominal bore/OD remain 70/150 mm; Fw/Ew describe the rolling-contact path, and speeds still run to 3,800 r/min grease / 5,300 r/min oil.
