How to read SKF NU 213 ECM/HC5C3
- NU 2Series
- Cylindrical roller bearings, NU 2 series. For the same bore, each series has a different outside diameter and width.
- 13Bore
- 65 mm bore: 13 × 5.
- ECM/HC5C3Suffix
- SKF suffix: it defines the variant (sealing, cage, internal clearance or other features).
NU 213 is the standard (ISO) basic designation: it defines the type, the series and the bore.
Description

The SKF NU ECM/HC series cylindrical roller bearing is a high radial capacity component designed to support high loads and considerable speeds. Its dismountable design makes mounting and dismounting easier, and its construction with machined brass cage and special treatment makes it suitable for demanding applications. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line, backed in the Argentine industrial market.
The NU designation identifies cylindrical roller bearings with two ribs on the outer ring and none on the inner ring, which allows relative axial displacement. The suffixes ECM and HC provide key information: EC indicates an optimized design with higher load capacity, M indicates machined brass cage, and HC refers to a special heat treatment for dimensional stability. The example NU 213 ECM/HC5C3 combines these characteristics with a brass cage and C3 radial clearance, greater than normal. Knowing these codes lets you select the right bearing for each application.
These bearings are used in industries such as steel, cement, mining, paper and heavy machinery manufacturing. In Argentina, they are common in gearboxes, industrial pumps, fans, conveyor belts and grinding equipment. Their ability to support high radial loads and their fatigue resistance make them ideal for environments with vibrations and variable temperatures. MR Accesorios Industriales sells them to supply plants and workshops throughout the country.
To select correctly, take into account the radial load, the rotation speed and the type of lubrication. Sealing is essential: in contaminated environments, choose bearings with seals or shields. Radial clearance must be suited to the working conditions; C3 clearance is suitable when there is thermal expansion. Alignment between shaft and housing prevents additional stresses. Lubrication with grease or oil must be suitable for the speed and temperature. Mounting with the right tools extends service life.
As for equivalents, cylindrical roller bearings from other brands can be interchanged if dimensions and tolerances match, but always verify the specifications. The SKF NU ECM/HC series has equivalents in other recognized brands, although the suffixes may vary. The exact designation and the operating conditions determine compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are the dimensions of the SKF NU 213 ECM/HC5C3 bearing?
- The SKF NU 213 ECM/HC5C3 bearing has a 65 mm bore, a 120 mm outside diameter and a 23 mm width (65 x 120 x 23 mm). These are the standardised boundary dimensions (ISO 15) of the basic designation NU 213.
- What does the NU ECM/HC designation mean on an SKF bearing?
- NU indicates cylindrical rollers with two ribs on the outer ring. ECM indicates machined brass cage and optimized design. HC refers to a special heat treatment for dimensional stability. These codes define key characteristics for selection.
- Where are NU series cylindrical roller bearings used?
- They are used in gearboxes, pumps, fans, conveyor belts and grinding equipment, among others. Industries such as steel, cement, mining and paper use them for their high radial load capacity and resistance.
- How do I choose the right radial clearance for my application?
- Radial clearance depends on the working conditions. C3 clearance is greater than normal and is recommended when there is thermal expansion or interference fits. Check the equipment specifications or consult our technical team.
