The FAG NU 318 E.TVP2 is a premium single-row cylindrical roller bearing engineered for demanding industrial applications requiring high radial load capacity and high operating speeds. Its defining NU configuration features rollers guided by the outer ring (190 mm), allowing for axial displacement between the shaft and the housing. The 'E' design suffix signifies an enhanced internal geometry, incorporating longer or larger diameter rollers to maximize dynamic and static load ratings well above standard series bearings. This design is crucial for heavy machinery such as gearboxes, large electric motors, pumps, and metal rolling mills where operational reliability under sustained stress is non-negotiable.
Equipped with the robust TVP2 cage, this bearing utilizes glass fiber reinforced polyamide 6.6, providing significant advantages over traditional metal cages, including reduced mass, lower running noise, improved lubrication flow, and enhanced resilience to shock loading and misalignment. The lightweight polyamide cage enables higher limiting speeds (up to 6,000 rpm under standard grease lubrication) and ensures dimensional stability up to operating temperatures of 120°C. By selecting the FAG NU 318 E.TVP2, users invest in Schaeffler's hallmark precision engineering, guaranteeing reduced frictional heat generation, optimized energy efficiency, and a substantially extended service life, minimizing costly unplanned downtime.
