How the NUP2314 model number is decoded
NUP2314 belongs to the NTN cylindrical roller range in NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E, under the * ULTAGE new-generation specification: line-contact rollers between ground raceways for a 247 kN dynamic rating in the 70 mm bore. Digit by digit, NUP2314 reads as NUP (inner ring two ribs + loose L-ring), 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. Line contact between rollers and raceways gives NUP2314 high radial capacity but no tolerance for misalignment: beyond roughly 3–4 arc-minutes the roller ends edge-load and fatigue accelerates. Mass 3900 g for the 70×150×51 mm NUP2314 execution covers the pressed-steel cage and full roller complement; substitute on mass plus rating, not envelope alone. On NUP arrangements confirm which ring is separable before heating: forcing the ribbed ring off over the roller complement damages the cage and rib faces.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- heavy industrial gearbox and reducer shafts
- large pump, turbine and compressor rotors
- rolling-mill auxiliary drive shafts
- crusher and vibrating-screen drive shafts
Known failure patterns
- inner-ring raceway spalling from overload in the line-contact Hertzian zone
- cage distortion after a mounting blow carried through the roller set
- roller-end and raceway scoring from inadequate oil flow under heavy radial load
- rolling-contact fatigue after the catalogue L10 life is exceeded
- edge loading from shaft deflection beyond the 3–4 arc-minute alignment limit
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.
- If the shaft must be located both ways, do not use NUP2314 alone: pair it with a locating bearing or specify the NUP execution with the matching loose rib ring from the 2203E table.
- The 51 mm width and abutment faces must be square to the axis; a tilted spacer concentrates load across the roller set and shows as uneven raceway polish on the 70 mm inner ring.
- The 40.0 mm section at 70 mm bore leaves a narrow oil path; with the standard cage the relubrication groove and oil-level design must keep grease from churning in the 51 mm-wide cavity.
- Wide (22/23) and light (10/49) executions at 70 mm bore share bore but not OD/width; check the full NUP2300 series code before substituting, because housing and shoulder geometry will not interchange.
- The 247/262 kN ratings, 31 kN Pu and 3900 g mass are NTN Ball and Roller Bearings CAT.No.2203E values for NUP2314 (standard 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 NUP2314?
NUP2314 is an NTN NUP 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 247 kN, C0 262 kN, Pu 31 kN, grease limiting speed 4,100 r/min, oil 4,800 r/min, mass about 3900 g. It is open, with a 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. NUP2314 is the NJ rib arrangement plus a loose L-shaped rib ring on the inner ring — it locates the shaft in both axial directions.
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. NUP2314 is listed among the * ULTAGE-marked executions in 2203E.
Can NUP2314 take axial load and locate a shaft?
the NUP design provides two-direction axial location via its loose rib ring, for light/moderate thrust guidance. The loose rib ring still only suits light/short-duration axial guidance; heavy thrust belongs to a dedicated thrust bearing.
What do Fw and Ew mean for NUP2314?
Fw is the inner sub-assembly raceway/roller-set envelope diameter and Ew the outer-ring raceway diameter printed for geometric checks: Fw 90 mm, Ew 130 mm. The nominal bore/OD remain 70/150 mm; Fw/Ew describe the rolling-contact path, and speeds still run to 4,100 r/min grease / 4,800 r/min oil.
