SKF NCF series cylindrical roller bearings are single-row bearings with a steel cage and cylindrical rollers, designed to withstand high radial loads and moderate speeds. They are used in applications requiring high load capacity and rigidity, such as machine tools, mining equipment, steelmaking and power transmission. MR Accesorios Industriales carries this line, with technical advice to select the right execution.
The NCF series designation is interpreted as follows: the letters NCF indicate a single-row cylindrical roller bearing with one rib on the inner ring and two ribs on the outer ring, which allows it to withstand axial loads in one direction. The number that follows, as in NCF 18/500, indicates the size: the prefix 18 denotes a dimension series and the number after the slash the bore diameter in millimeters. The suffixes V and C3 or C4 define the stamped steel cage and the internal radial clearance, respectively. For example, NCF 18/600 V/C3 combines a steel cage and C3 radial clearance.
These bearings are used in industries such as steelmaking, cement, mining and machine tools, where radial loads are high and speeds are moderate. In Argentina, they are commonly found in gear reducers, gearboxes, rolling mills, crushers and heavy conveying equipment. Their single-row design with cylindrical rollers offers high rigidity and load capacity, which makes them suitable for demanding applications with shocks and vibrations.
To select the right bearing, take into account the radial load, the rotation speed and the required internal clearance. The C3 suffix indicates a radial clearance greater than normal, suitable for interference-fit mountings or thermal differences between rings. The C4 suffix corresponds to an even greater clearance. Lubrication must be chosen according to temperature and speed; for high speeds oil is recommended, and for high loads, high-viscosity grease. It is essential to ensure correct alignment and mounting with the right tools to avoid damage to the rollers and raceways.
Regarding equivalents and interchangeability, SKF NCF series bearings can be interchanged with those from other manufacturers that follow the same dimensional and execution designation, such as the NCF series from other brands. However, always verify the tolerances and radial clearance, since they can vary between manufacturers. MR Accesorios Industriales carries SKF and can advise you on the best option for your application.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the V suffix mean on an NCF bearing?
- The V suffix indicates that the bearing has a stamped steel cage, which guides the rollers and withstands high temperatures and loads. It is important to verify this detail at the time of selection, since it influences dynamic behavior.
- What is the difference between C3 and C4 radial clearance?
- C3 radial clearance is greater than normal and is used in mountings with interference fit or thermal gradients. C4 is even greater, for applications with higher temperatures or high speeds. Choose according to the operating conditions.
- How do I request a quote for an NCF bearing?
- Send the full bearing part number by WhatsApp, for example NCF 18/500 V/C4. We will reply shortly with the quote and the alternatives. If you do not have the part number, we can help you identify it.
