Cylindrical roller bearing NU 206 ETVP2 C3 FAG

Cylindrical bearing for high radial loads

ETVP2 cage and C3 clearance for demanding conditions

Reliable solution for industrial bearing units

Main description

The NU 206 ETVP2 C3 cylindrical roller bearing from FAG is a high-quality rolling bearing designed for applications requiring high radial load capacity and operational reliability in demanding industrial applications. The NU design allows axial displacement between the inner and outer rings, effectively compensating for thermal expansion of the shaft without generating additional stresses in the bearing arrangement.

The ETVP2 designation refers to a reinforced polyamide cage engineered to ensure stable roller guidance, reduced friction, and smooth operation at higher rotational speeds. This cage design contributes directly to high durability, quiet running, and extended service life, even under continuous operation. Compared to a standard ball bearing, the NU 206 cylindrical roller bearing offers significantly higher radial load capacity.

The C3 internal clearance makes this bearing suitable for applications where elevated operating temperatures, tight fits, or thermal expansion are present. As a result, the NU 206 ETVP2 C3 FAG bearing is commonly used in electric motors, gearboxes, pumps, fans, and other machinery where the bearing operates inside a bearing housing as part of a complete bearing unit.

Thanks to its robust construction and consistent quality, this bearing is widely selected by maintenance teams and B2B customers who require predictable performance, long service intervals, and resistance to demanding operating conditions. The precision manufacturing standards of FAG ensure reliable operation across a wide range of industrial environments.
