What is the equivalent of a NU-304-ECP bearing?

The NU-304-ECP is a 20×52×15mm ball bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK NU304W, NTN NU304ET2, SKF NU 304 ECP, Timken NU304EM. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a NU-304-ECP bearing?

The NU-304-ECP bearing has a bore diameter of 20mm, outer diameter of 52mm, and width of 15mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 31.5 kN, static load rating of 26.9 kN, and weighs 176g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 11,000 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG NU-304-ECP with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The NU-304-ECP (20×52×15mm) can be replaced with the equivalent NSK part number as long as the seal type (open) and clearance class (CN) match. Always verify load ratings and speed limits for your specific application.
