Since the design allowing linear
contact of cylindrical rollers with the raceway provides strong resistance
to radial load, this type is suitable for use under heavy radial load
and impact load, as well as at high speed.
N and NU types are ideal for use
on the free side: they are movable in the shaft direction in response
to changes in bearing position relative to the shaft or housing, which
are caused by heat expansion of the shaft or improper mounting.
NJ and NF types can accommodate
axial load in one direction: and NH and NUP types can accommodate partial
axial load in both directions.
With separable inner and outer ring,
this type ensures easy mounting.
Due to their high rigidity, NNU
and NN types are widely used in machine tool spindles.
