NU Type

NU design The outer ring of bearings of the NU design (fig) has two integral flanges and the inner ring is without flanges. Axial displacement of the shaft with respect to the housing can be accommodated in both directions within the bearing itself. The bearings are therefore used as non-locating bearings. NU style bearings have two machined flanges on the outer ring and no flanges on the inner ring. The rollers and cages are assembled in the outer ring. Because there are no flanges in the inner ring, this bearing cannot carry a thrust load
