How the NU319 model number is decoded
In the NU300-series (ISO 15 dimension series) the leading NU marks a single-row cylindrical roller: the outer ring has two integral shoulders and the inner ring none, so the inner-ring/roller assembly floats axially both ways and the bearing locates radially only; the last two digits of NU319 are bore code 19 = 95 mm (code × 5 from 04 upward). The ISO 15 envelope is 200 mm outside diameter and 45 mm width — 3.74 × 7.874 × 1.772 in, with a 52.5 mm radial section height. Straight cylindrical rollers give line contact for high radial capacity at low friction, with no self-alignment; catalogue practice for a rotating inner ring is a k5 shaft seat, H7 housing and C3 clearance. NJ adds one inner shoulder (one-direction location), NUP two shoulders (full location); E denotes a reinforced roller complement — verify against the actual load direction.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- crusher eccentric and drum shafts
- heavy crane and winch drums
- large fan and paper machine rolls
- rolling mill roll necks and chocks
- large gear drives and reducer shafts
Known failure patterns
- inner-ring shoulder damage from cold mounting force transmitted through the roller set
- thermal seizure when an interference fit plus hot running removes all residual C3 clearance
- roller and raceway smearing when a lightly loaded NU row skids at start-up or below the minimum load
- edge loading and rib spalling from shaft-to-housing misalignment — cylindrical rollers run on line contact and cannot self-align
- roller-end and flange scoring when an NU bearing is forced to locate axially; only NJ/NUP designs carry thrust at the shoulders
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- The large 95 mm-bore NU319 mounts with substantial force: heat the inner ring or use hydraulic equipment, support the 200 mm outer ring squarely, and plan lifting fixtures for the 45 mm-wide roller assembly — drifting it in cold brinells the line-contact raceways.
- The NU3 medium series at 95 mm bore uses the 200 mm OD and 45 mm width for heavy radial load; it needs stiffer shaft and housing shoulders and runs lower limiting speed than an NU219, so it is a poor choice in a high-rpm gearbox stage sized for the light row.
- Before fitting NU319, machine the 95 mm shaft seat and 200 mm housing bore with a relief or undercut so nothing bridges the chamfer; the separable rings only carry load when their full faces abut, and a large fillet pinches the 52.5 mm radial section.
- With a separable NU319, mount the inner-ring/roller assembly on the shaft and the plain outer ring in the housing independently; check that the outer ring is free to float the specified amount after closing the housing — a pinched outer ring turns the floating bearing into an accidental locating one.
- When reusing separable NU319 rings, keep the matched pair together and inspect both seats: a crept inner ring frets a polished groove into the 95 mm journal that a new bearing will repeat unless the shaft is repaired or reclaimed.
- Apply mounting force to the ring with the interference fit — inner ring for a shaft fit, outer ring for a housing fit; pushing the 95 mm inner ring home through the rollers brinells the 200 mm outer raceway.
- Order clearance for the fit: a rotating interference inner ring on a 95 mm shaft plus thermal growth consumes CN play, so C3 is the normal industrial default and C4 serves hot or vibratory mounts; CN suits loose outer-ring floating arrangements in bored housings.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of an NU319 cylindrical roller bearing?
An NU319 single-row cylindrical roller bearing per ISO 15 has a 95 mm bore, 200 mm outer diameter and 45 mm width (3.74 × 7.874 × 1.772 in), a 52.5 mm radial section and roughly 5586 g geometry-based estimated mass; catalogue masses vary with cage and E design.
How does the NU319 bore code work?
The letters give the ring/shoulder design (NU = axially free, NJ = one inner shoulder, NUP = two shoulders) and the last two digits are bore code 19: 19 × 5 = 95 mm. The 200 mm OD and 45 mm width come from the ISO 15 dimension series (NU300), which shares its boundary plan with the 6-series deep-groove envelopes.
What is the difference between NU, NJ, N and NUP designs?
NU (like the NU319) has a shoulderless inner ring and floats axially in both directions; NJ has one integral inner-ring shoulder and locates the shaft in one direction; N has two inner shoulders and a shoulderless outer ring (mirror of NU); NUP adds a second, loose shoulder so the inner ring locates in both directions. Select by the shaft locating scheme, not by load rating — the envelopes are identical.
Can an NU319 take axial load or misalignment?
No thrust in the NU design: any sustained axial force scores the roller ends and ring flanges, so locate the shaft with an NJ/NUP row, a paired angular-contact bearing or a deep-groove row elsewhere. Misalignment is likewise not tolerated — line contact between cylindrical rollers and raceways edges under even small angular errors; use a spherical roller bearing where shaft deflection or housing misalignment is expected.
What does the E suffix mean and which clearance should be ordered?
E (as in NU319E) is the reinforced design: larger/optimised rollers raise the basic load rating over the basic designation in the same 95×200×45 mm envelope. For clearance, C3 is the usual default with an interference fit on a rotating inner ring because fit and thermal growth reduce residual play; use CN mainly for loose floating outer-ring mounts and C4 for hot or vibratory duty.
