What is the equivalent of a NU211W-C3 bearing?

The NU211W-C3 is a 55×100×21mm cylindrical roller bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK NU211W C3, NTN NU211ET2 C3, SKF NU 211 ECP/C3, Timken NU211EM/C3. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a NU211W-C3 bearing?

The NU211W-C3 bearing has a bore diameter of 55mm, outer diameter of 100mm, and width of 21mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 58 kN, static load rating of 62.5 kN, and weighs 636g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 5,000 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG NU211W-C3 with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The NU211W-C3 (55×100×21mm) 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.
