SKF RNU 218 ECML Single row cylindrical roller bearing, NU design, without inner ring

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.
