30.05.2008 - New TG series single row cylindrical roller bearings

TG introduces its new series of single row cylindrical roller bearings. The applications of the new single row cylindrical roller bearings are as numerous as its variants: they are used in pumps and compressors, mechanical presses, electric motors, gearboxes, traction motors and axle bearings for railway vehicles, in steelworks and many other industrial applications.

The new roller bearings are available in design variants NU, NJ and NUP. The bearing cages are available in roller-guided and outer ring-guided versions and are made from brass and polyamide. In addition to radial clearance groups CN (C0) for as standard, C3 and C4 groups are also available. 

To maximise their lifespan, the new cylindrical roller bearings are made from clean bearing steel. The superior surface finish of the raceways further helps reducing friction as well as lowering the operating temperature. The optimised geometries of raceways and rolling elements increase the loading capacity, while a modified cage design improves the formation of lubricant film. Thanks to the improved design of bearing guiding flanges for NJ and NUP variants, the bearings can take up higher axial loads. Misalignments can be compensated by modified contact geometry and crowned inner raceways. Tighter tolerances for the roller sorting ensure a uniform load distribution.
