How the NU413 model number is decoded
For a 65 mm shaft, SKF lists NU413 as single-row caged cylindrical roller: 160 mm OD, 37 mm wide, Pu 24 kN, the catalogue lists 4,800 r/min thermal reference speed and 5,600 r/min mechanical limiting speed. 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. The plain designation (no cage suffix) identifies the basic execution supplied with a standard pressed-steel cage. Load-per-bore for the 65 mm seat is about 2.82 kN/mm, typical of dimension series 4 (heavy-section ISO 15 envelope); use C0 190 kN for static checks such as crane hook blocks standing under load. Assembly note: 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. Heat steel rings inductively to max 120 °C.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- cement-plant conveyor drives
- heavy gearbox and pinion shafts
- large pump and blower rotors
- rolling-mill auxiliary drive 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
- cage pocket wear from roller skew at light 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
- edge-loading fatigue after shaft deflection beyond the 3–4 minute alignment limit
- edge loading from shaft deflection beyond the bearing alignment limit (≈ 3-4 minutes of arc for single-row CRB)
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 4 (heavy-section ISO 15 envelope) envelope is shared with the N/NU/NJ/NUP executions of 413, but flange configuration and axial-locating behaviour differ — quote the full SKF NU 413 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.
- Catalogue reference and limiting speeds are different criteria: observe the mechanical ceiling even when thermal calculations allow more.
- The 183/190 kN ratings are SKF catalogue 17000 (2018) values for the basic 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 NU413?
SKF NU 413 is a single-row caged cylindrical roller bearing with 65 mm bore, 160 mm OD and 37 mm width per ISO 15. SKF lists C 183 kN, C0 190 kN, Pu 24 kN, reference speed 4,800 r/min and limiting speed 5,600 r/min, mass about 3550 g.
What does the NU designation and plain suffix mean?
The plain designation (no cage suffix) identifies the basic execution supplied with a standard pressed-steel cage. 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 NU413 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 NU413 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.
