FAG NJ series cylindrical roller bearings are built to handle high radial loads and elevated speeds. Their cylindrical rollers and machined brass cage support precise operation in tough conditions. Typical uses include machine tools, gearboxes, pumps, compressors and other industrial equipment that demands high radial capacity and rigidity.
Reading an NJ code helps you select the right bearing. The letters NJ mean the outer ring has one fixed rib and the inner ring has one rib, so the bearing can guide the shaft axially in a single direction. The following number relates to size and corresponds to bore and outer diameter. The E suffix signals a higher load capacity. TB stands for a machined brass cage, while M1 indicates a one-piece brass cage. A code like NJ248-E-TB-M1 brings these features together for specific duties.
These bearings appear across many industries: gearboxes, machine tools, centrifugal pumps, screw compressors and conveyors. They also serve metallurgical, cement, mining and food processing operations where radial loads are heavy and rotational accuracy matters. Because they tolerate high speeds, they suit electric motors and machine spindles as well.
Selecting an NJ bearing starts with the radial and axial loads it will carry, plus the operating speed and environmental conditions. Use proper tools during mounting and avoid striking the rollers directly. Grease or oil lubrication works depending on the application, and precise alignment between shaft and housing prevents extra stress. Sealing depends on the environment; in contaminated areas, add extra protection. Always check internal clearance and fitting tolerances.
NJ series cylindrical roller bearings from different brands usually share main dimensions, but interchangeability should be verified. Load capacity, cage type and suffixes can differ between manufacturers. When replacing a bearing, compare dimensions as well as performance and internal design. For a correct equivalent, give our specialists the complete part number of the original bearing.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the E suffix mean in NJ bearings?
- The E suffix indicates a higher load capacity than the standard design, achieved through more rollers or an optimized layout. Consider this when selecting for high radial loads.
- How do I choose between a brass cage and a steel cage?
- A machined brass cage (TB or M1) provides greater strength and suits high speeds and loads. The choice depends on operating conditions; for severe applications, brass is often recommended. Consult us to evaluate your case.
- Do NJ bearings allow axial loads?
- Yes, NJ bearings can support axial loads in one direction because they have a rib on the inner ring and another on the outer ring. For axial loads in both directions, combine them with other bearings or use special configurations. Always verify your application's load conditions.
