How the NUP2313-ECP model number is decoded
In SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000, SKF NUP 2313 ECP denotes a single-row caged cylindrical roller bearing on the ISO 15 65×140×48 mm envelope, dimension series 23 (medium-section, wide), with catalogue mass 3450 g. Structurally, the NUP design has two integral flanges on the outer ring plus one integral flange and one loose flange ring on the inner ring. In arrangement terms it is a locating bearing that positions the shaft axially in both directions while keeping the cylindrical-roller radial capacity. 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. Speed planning for NUP2313-ECP: the catalogue lists 5,300 r/min thermal reference speed and 6,000 r/min mechanical limiting speed. The mass entry 3450 g covers the complete catalogue execution. Fit practice for NUP2313-ECP: the loose inner-ring flange must be fitted on the correct side and retained by the shaft abutment; never omit it during reassembly or the bearing loses its two-direction locating function. 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
- paper-machine press rolls
- cement-plant conveyor drives
- heavy gearbox and pinion shafts
- large pump and blower rotors
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
- roller-end scoring from inadequate oil flow in the roller-raceway contact
- edge-loading fatigue after shaft deflection beyond the 3–4 minute alignment limit
- electrical pitting on VFD-driven shafts without grounding protection
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Do not use a NUP bearing where a floating non-locating bearing is required — the loose inner flange makes it a locating bearing
- The dimension series 23 (medium-section, wide) envelope is shared with the N/NU/NJ/NUP executions of 2313, but flange configuration and axial-locating behaviour differ — quote the full SKF NUP 2313 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.
- Catalogue reference and limiting speeds are different criteria: observe the mechanical ceiling even when thermal calculations allow more.
- The 285/290 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 NUP2313-ECP?
SKF NUP 2313 ECP is a single-row caged cylindrical roller bearing with 65 mm bore, 140 mm OD and 48 mm width per ISO 15. SKF lists C 285 kN, C0 290 kN, Pu 38 kN, reference speed 5,300 r/min and limiting speed 6,000 r/min, mass about 3450 g.
What does the NUP 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 plus one integral flange and one loose flange ring on the inner ring.
Can NUP2313-ECP take axial load and locate the shaft?
Yes, in both directions: the integral inner flange plus the loose flange ring close both axial paths. Do not pair it with another locating bearing without thermal clearance.
How does NUP2313-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.
