For machinery that runs under heavy radial load at moderate speed, the SKF NCF series is a single row cylindrical roller bearing built with a steel cage. It is a common choice in machine tools, mining equipment, steelmaking lines and power transmission drives. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this line and can help you match the right execution to your application.
The NCF code tells you how the bearing is built. NCF means one flange on the inner ring and two on the outer ring, so the bearing can take axial load in one direction. The number after the letters, such as in NCF 18/500, gives the size: the first part is a dimension series, and the digits after the slash are the bore in millimeters. Suffixes carry the rest of the story: V is a stamped steel cage, and C3 or C4 is the internal radial clearance. So NCF 18/600 V/C3 is a steel-cage bearing with C3 clearance.
These bearings suit steel mills, cement plants, mining operations and machine tool builders where radial forces are high and speeds stay moderate. You will find them in gear reducers, gearboxes, rolling mills, crushers and heavy conveying systems. The cylindrical roller and single row layout give the rigidity and load capacity needed for shock and vibration.
When you select one, look at radial load, speed and the clearance you need. C3 means more clearance than normal, which helps with interference fits or when the rings see different temperatures. C4 goes further for hotter or faster duty. Lubrication follows temperature and speed: oil for high speed, high-viscosity grease for heavy load. Correct alignment and proper mounting tools matter, because rollers and raceways are easily damaged during assembly.
On interchangeability, NCF series bearings from other makers that use the same dimensional and execution designation can generally be swapped in. Still, check tolerances and radial clearance, since they can differ from one maker to another. MR Industrial Accessories supplies SKF and can guide you to the right option.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the V suffix mean on an NCF bearing?
- It stands for a stamped steel cage that guides the rollers and handles high temperatures and loads. Check this detail during selection, because it affects how the bearing behaves dynamically.
- How do C3 and C4 radial clearance differ?
- C3 is larger than normal clearance and fits interference fits or thermal gradients. C4 is larger still, for higher temperatures or speeds. Match the clearance to your operating conditions.
- How do I request a quote for an NCF bearing?
- Send the full part number on WhatsApp, for example NCF 18/500 V/C4. We will reply with a quote and alternatives. If you do not have the number, we can help identify it.
