Description
SKF NUP 2228 ECML/C3 is a cylindrical roller bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for NUP 2228 ECML/C3 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
SKF NUP series cylindrical roller bearings are high load capacity radial bearings that allow axial displacement in both directions. They are used in applications requiring support of high radial loads and moderate axial loads, such as gearboxes, machine tools and industrial equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this line with the technical backing of more than 80 years in the Argentine market.
The NUP designation identifies cylindrical roller bearings with two flanges on the inner ring and one flange with a retaining ring on the outer ring, which allows the shaft to be axially located in both directions. The ECML suffix indicates a one-piece machined brass cage, window type, roller centered, and the C3 designation establishes an internal radial clearance greater than normal. For example, NUP 238 ECML/C3 and NUP 2228 ECML/C3 share this configuration, with different dimensions depending on size.
These bearings are used in industries such as metallurgy, cement, mining, paper and machine tools. They are common in gearboxes, milling machine spindles, high-flow pumps, industrial fans and transmission equipment. In Argentina, they are found in steel plants, flour mills and automotive production lines, where radial loads are high and precise axial guidance is required.
To select correctly, take into account the radial and axial load to be supported, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. C3 clearance is suitable when there are thermal gradients between inner and outer rings, or interference fits. Mounting requires cleanliness, careful alignment and adequate lubrication; the brass cage better tolerates high temperatures and speeds. Check the sealing: these bearings are usually open, so they may need additional seals.
Regarding equivalences, SKF NUP bearings can be interchanged with similar designations from other brands that follow the same ISO nomenclature, such as NU, NJ or N. However, dimensions and tolerances may vary between manufacturers, so it is always advisable to verify the complete part number and technical specifications before replacing. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on interchangeability without compromising performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the ECML suffix mean on an SKF bearing?
- ECML indicates a one-piece machined brass cage, roller centered. This cage is suitable for high speeds and temperatures, and allows better roller guidance, which contributes to more stable operation.
- When is it advisable to use a bearing with C3 clearance?
- C3 clearance is recommended when there are temperature differences between the inner and outer rings, or when fits are interference fits. Also in applications where significant thermal expansion is expected, to prevent the clearance from being reduced excessively.
- Do NUP bearings allow axial displacement?
- Yes, NUP bearings have two flanges on the inner ring and one flange with a retaining ring on the outer, which allows the shaft to be axially located in both directions. They do not allow free axial displacement, but rather guide axially.
