What is the equivalent of a NU311W bearing?

The NU311W is a 55×120×29mm cylindrical roller bearing with verified equivalents across multiple brands: NSK NU311W, NTN NU311ET2, SKF NU 311 ECP, Timken NU311EM. All equivalents share the same bore, outer diameter, width, and load ratings.

What are the dimensions of a NU311W bearing?

The NU311W bearing has a bore diameter of 55mm, outer diameter of 120mm, and width of 29mm. It has a dynamic load rating of 111 kN, static load rating of 111 kN, and weighs 1440g. Maximum speed with grease lubrication is 4,300 rpm.

Can I replace a FAG NU311W with a NSK equivalent?

Yes. FAG and NSK bearings with the same ISO designation are dimensionally interchangeable. The NU311W (55×120×29mm) 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.
