NU208EM/C3

OpenC3Cylindrical Roller BearingVerified matchCylindrical Roller — Light Series (NU)

Single row cylindrical roller bearings with ribs on the outer ring only. NU-type allows free axial float in both directions, making it ideal as the non-locating bearing in a pair. Same envelope as 6200 deep groove but with ~2x radial load capacity.

Seal Type

Open (No Seal)

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

Best forClean environments with external lubrication systems. High-speed applications where heat dissipation matters.
Avoid forDirty, dusty, or wet environments. Applications without planned lubrication maintenance.
Examples
  • Machine tool spindles
  • Gearboxes with oil bath lubrication
  • High-speed precision equipment

Internal Clearance

Greater Than Normal (C3)

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

Best forHigh-temperature applications. Tight interference fits. Electric motors with frequent starts/stops.
Temperature70-150°C operating temperature
