Bearing Cross Reference
Types of bearings
One way to categorize bearings is by the type of rolling element they use. Using this method,
there are five types of bearings:
Ball bearings
Cylindrical roller bearings
Needle roller bearings
Tapered roller bearings

Glossary
 Radial ball bearings will accommodate moderate to heavy radial loads and low to
moderate thrust loads in either direction.
 Deep groove radial bearings are manufactured as open type bearings for oil or grease
lubrication. They are also available with metal shields and/or seals for use where
moderate contamination is present in the operation.
 Angular contact bearings are single row types used where radial and thrust loads are
combined in the same application. They provide sufficient internal clearances to assume a
specific contact angle under thrust loading and are available with angles of 15, 30 and 40
degrees.
 Double row bearings are manufactured both as filling slot and Conrad types, in light and
medium series. The filling slot type has higher load capacity but the Conrad type
provides a quieter operation and should be used when noise is a consideration.
 Self-Aligning bearings are manufactured with two rows of balls and one continuous
spherical raceway in the outer ring. This allows for limited misalignment of the shaft and
housing.
 Maximum capacity bearings are filling slot type bearings used in applications involving
heavy radial loads and low speeds where thrust loads are comparatively low. The
incorporated filling slots in the inner and outer rings so they can be loaded with
additional balls for greater capacity.
 Mast guide bearings are bearings with a high load capacity, specially designed for use in
fork lift trucks. These bearings are similar to single row or double row deep groove
bearings but the outer race has a very thick cross-section which performs as a wheel or
tire. Mast guide bearings can withstand heavy radial loads and occasional thrust loads.
Mounted on the fork carriage they provide smooth action as the forks are raised and
lowered.

 Integral shaft bearings include a shaft with bearing races machined on its O.D. The
outer bearing ring, cage and rolling elements are mounted directly on the shaft and an
inner ring is not required. These are commonly referred to as water pump bearings since
that is a major application for them.
 Special bearings include Inch Series bearings, bearings made specifically for automotive
air compressor applications and bearings made with special bore, width, or O.D.

Roller bearing cross-references
Glossary – Cylindrical Roller Bearings
 NU style single row – NU style bearings have two machined flanges on the outer ring
and no flanges on the inner ring.
 N Style single row – N style bearings have two machined flanges on the inner ring and
no flanges on the outer ring, with rollers and cage on the inner ring. Like the NU style,
the N has no thrust load carrying capability.
 NJ style single row – NJ style bearings have two machined flanges on the outer ring and
a machined flange on one side of the inner ring. The roller and cage assembly is in the
outer ring. The integral flange on the inner ring allows this bearing to carry an axial load.

+91 93805 948057 / 90804 97797
NITIN BEARINGS
 NF style single row – NF style bearings have two machined flanges on the inner ring and
one flange on the outer ring, with roller and cage on the inner ring. Like the NJ bearing,
these bearings have some thrust load capability.
 NH style single row – NH style bearings have two machined flanges on the outer ring
and a machined flange on one side of the inner ring. A special-design inner ring allows
use of a stabilizing ring on the non-flange side. As a result, these bearings can carry axial
loads in both directions. The roller and cage assembly is mounted in the outer ring.
 NUP style single row – NUP style bearings are similar to the NJ style and come with a
special ring often called a thrust collar. Mounted on the non-flange side of the inner ring,
the thrust collar allows the bearing to carry an axial load in both directions. The thrust
collar extends out of the bearing on one side, so the dimension across the inner ring is
slightly greater than that of the outer ring.
 Double row styles (NN, NNU) – Double Row cylindrical roller bearings are denoted by
two N’s within the part number (e.g., NN or NNU). The dimensions for these can be
found in the Super Precision section of this catalog and can be ordered with standard
precision.
 S-Type – Sealed-Clean Bearings for chain conveyors demonstrate a high efficiency
under high temperatures and wet conditions for a longer period with an improved sealing
system. These bearings are packed with a quality grease of high thermal resistance and
durability.
 Continuous Caster Roller Bearings – These are 2-split bearing units of a highly reliable
design and feature a long service life. Cylindrical roller bearings with self-aligning rings
having a proper alignment function.
 Four Row Cylindrical Roller Bearings – Are also popular roll neck bearings providing
several benefits. First, the inner ring is separable form the outer ring and rollers which
allows the inner ring to remain with the roll during grinding processes. This assures
precise concentricity and negligible run-out providing for high rolling accuracy.
Secondly, this design allows for greater radial load carrying and higher operating speeds.
Four row cylindricals must be used in combination with a thrust bearing which is usually
a two row taper, angular contact ball bearings, or a deep groove ball bearing depending
on the thrust load present.

Glossary – Spherical Roller Bearings
 Spherical Roller Bearings – Are double row self-aligning bearings capable of carrying
heavy radial loads combined with moderate thrust loads in either direction. They are
extremely resistant to shock loads and their self-aligning feature allows full capacity
loading despite shaft deflection.
 Continuous Caster Rollers – These are 2-split bearing units of a highly reliable design
and feature a long service life. Cylindrical roller bearings with self-aligning rings having
a proper alignment function.
 Spherical Roller Bearings TL Series – Excellent performance with high temperture
equipment. High strength to prevent inner ring fractures.
 Shaker Screen Bearings – Are designed for vibrating applications such as screens,
feeders and compactors. These are self-aligning spherical roller bearings designed to
accommodate the high loads, static and dynamic misalignment characteristics, and severe
environmental conditions inherent in these applications.
 Triple Ring Bearings – Are specially designed for use with controlled crown rolls used
extensively in the paper industry. These high load capacity bearings provide “shaft within
shaft” operation, while simplifying the surrounding structure and installation.

Glossary – Tapered Roller Bearings
 Four Row Tapered Roller Bearings Are very popular for use on roll necks. Most of
these bearings are composed of two double cones (four Inner ring raceways), a cone
spacer, two single cups (one at each end), one double cup (the center two raceways in the
outer rings), and two cup spacers. They are very effective at operating under heavy radial
and axial loads at low to moderate speeds. NSK four row tapered bearings are standardly
supplied with carburized rings and rollers and are compatible with industry standards.
“Sealed-Clean” bearings are four row tapers with seals for the harshest of operating
environments. NSK’s patented design provides the optimum sealing efficiency with only
a slight loss of capacity.
 Two Row Tapered Roller Bearings Are very common as the back-up thrust bearing in a
rolling mill or as the roll neck in lighter duty rolling mills. Two row tapers are designed
in a variety of styles for different applications. Converging bearings (TDI, TDIE, TDIS)
consist of one double cone and two single cups possibly with a cup spacer. Diverging
bearings (TDO, TDOD, TDOC) consist of two single cones, a cone spacer, and one
double cup.

 Cylindrical roller thrust bearings (TMP) – These are thrust bearings containing
cylindrical rollers. They can sustain only axial loads, but they are suitable for heavy loads
and have high axial rigidity. The cages are machined brass.
 Tapered roller thrust bearings (TT, TTF or V-Flat) – These are thrust bearings
containing tapered rollers. TT-type bearings, which have a rib on the housing washer, can
accurately guide the shaft in the radial direction. TTF-type bearings, which have no rib on
the housing washer, can tolerate some eccentricity during operation.
 The ball thrust bearings are designed to handle thrust loads while operating at high
speeds. These bearings can be ordered with an aligning seat and aligning washer if
misalignment or deflection can not be avoided.
 The spherical thrust bearings are designed to handle very heavy thrust loads in one
direction while operating at low to moderate speeds. The design of the spherical thrust
will also allow for some radial load while thrust load is imposed. The spherical shape of
the outer ring raceway makes these bearings excellent for handling misalignment.

 Standard Duty Pillow Blocks bearings are mounted in rigid housings of simple
construction. These are the most common pillow blocks and are used extensively for
various kinds of power transmission in stationary equipment and machinery.
 Standard Duty, Low Base Pillow Blocks are basically the same design as standard
pillow blocks, however the lower base provides a lower center of operation. This makes
the unit particularly suitable when space between the center and the mounting base is
limited.
 Cylindrical Cartridge Bearings are designed to provide shaft support where the shaft
axis is perpendicular to and passing through a solid support, in a location where the
cartridges can be mounted with a press rather than bolt flanges.
 Standard Duty, 4-bolt Flange units have square flanges which can be easily attached to
a mounting surface with four bolts. This simple method of installation makes this unit
convenient for applications where frequent disassembly may be required.
 Standard Duty, 4-bolt Flange have the same design as the set-screw type, however the
distance between bearing center and flange back face is longer, to provide sufficient
clearance to use a bearing with an eccentric locking collar.
 Standard Duty 2-bolt Flange units have a housing with an oval flange with two bolt
holes for mounting. This type of unit is easily installed and is suitable where mounting
space is limited or where it is necessary to minimize the distance between shafts.
