What is the equivalent of a NJ208W-C3 bearing?

The NJ208W-C3 is a 40×80×18mm cylindrical roller bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK NJ208W C3, NTN NJ208ET2 C3, SKF NJ 208 ECP/C3, Timken NJ208EM/C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a NJ208W-C3 bearing?

The NJ208W-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 40mm, outer diameter of 80mm, and width of 18mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 43.5 kN, static load rating of 43 kN, and weighs 375g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 6,700 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG NJ208W-C3 with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The NJ208W-C3 (40×80×18mm) can be replaced with the equivalent NSK part number as long as the seal type (open) and clearance class (C3) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.

Technical Details & Applications

Specification variations and common equipment types.

Internal Clearance

Greater Than Normal (C3)

Increased radial internal clearance. Required when bearings operate at elevated temperatures or with tight shaft fits.

Temperature70-150°C operating temperature

Seal Type

Open (No Seal)

No seals or shields. Allows external lubrication and cooling. Lowest friction, highest speed capability.

Avoid forDirty, dusty, or wet environments. Applications without planned lubrication maintenance.
