NU 222 ECM/C3VL0241 110x200x38 Bearing

The NU 222 ECM/C3VL0241 Single Row Cylindrical Roller Bearing is highly suitable for machinery that demands excellent radial load capacity, electrical insulation, and high-speed operation. Its electrical insulation, provided by the Insocoat coating, makes it ideal for applications where stray electrical currents could damage standard bearings. Below are the common machines and applications where this bearing plays a crucial role, along with a list of brands or series of replaceable bearings.

Machines Suitable for NU 222 ECM/C3VL0241 Bearing:

1. Electric Motors:

   • Role: This bearing is used to support the motor shaft, ensuring smooth, high-speed operation. The Insocoat coating prevents electrical currents from passing through the bearing, which could otherwise lead to premature bearing failure.

2. Generators:

   • Role: In generators, this bearing handles heavy radial loads while providing electrical insulation, ensuring a long operational life by preventing electrical erosion.

3. Pumps:

   • Role: The bearing supports the rotating shafts in industrial pumps. The high radial load capacity ensures that the bearing can handle heavy loads while maintaining smooth operation.

4. Compressors:

   • Role: Compressors used in industrial applications require bearings that can handle both high speeds and heavy radial loads. The NU 222 ECM/C3VL0241 excels in these environments, ensuring smooth, efficient operation.

5. Gearboxes:

   • Role: This bearing helps maintain efficient torque transmission in gearboxes by supporting the rotating gears and shafts. The high load-bearing capacity and electrical insulation ensure longer operational life and reduced maintenance.

6. Wind Turbines:

   • Role: In wind turbines, the NU 222 ECM/C3VL0241 supports the main rotor shaft, offering protection against stray currents and ensuring durability in harsh environmental conditions.

Role of NU 222 ECM/C3VL0241 Bearing:

The NU 222 ECM/C3VL0241 plays a critical role in ensuring smooth, frictionless operation in machines that handle heavy radial loads. Its key feature, the Insocoat insulation coating, prevents electrical currents from damaging the bearing, extending its lifespan in machines prone to electrical erosion. This insulation feature is particularly useful in electric motors and generators, where stray currents can cause severe damage. Additionally, the cylindrical roller design allows the bearing to handle high radial loads, making it suitable for heavy-duty machinery.
