Single row cylindrical roller bearings of the NU design without an inner ring consist of an outer ring with a roller and cage assembly. They are typically used in applications where hardened and ground raceways are provided on the shaft. Without the inner ring, a larger shaft diameter can be used to provide a stronger, stiffer shaft. The bearings can accommodate axial displacement in both directions, limited only by the width of the raceway on the shaft.
High radial load carrying capacity;Enable a stronger, stiffer shaft;Low friction;Long service life;Accommodate axial displacement in both directions
