Decoding SKF NU 1005
- NU 10Series
- Cylindrical roller bearings, NU 10 series. Series differ in outside diameter and width even when the bore is the same.
- 05Bore
- Bore 25 mm (05 × 5).
NU 1005 is the standard ISO basic designation, which sets the bearing type, series and bore.
Description
SKF NU 1005 measures 25 mm across the bore and 47 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 12 mm (25 x 47 x 12 mm).

SKF NU series cylindrical roller bearings are built for demanding rotating equipment. Their cylindrical rollers run on parallel raceways, which supports high radial loads and considerable speed. You will find them in electric motors, pumps, compressors and transmission equipment where radial stiffness and load capacity matter. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this line to customers across the United States and in several Latin American countries.
The NU code tells you how the bearing is put together: the outer ring carries two ribs, while the inner ring has none. That arrangement lets the rings move axially relative to each other, which is useful when a shaft grows with heat. The number after NU, as in NU 1005 or NU 1006, sets the size and dimensional series. Suffixes can point to design details such as a brass cage, a special heat treatment or a particular internal clearance, though not every size offers every variant. Reading the code correctly is the first step in matching a bearing to the job.
These bearings show up in metallurgy, cement, paper, food and petrochemical plants. Large electric motors, gearboxes, centrifugal pumps, industrial fans and machine tools are common hosts. Because they take heavy radial loads and run at high speeds, they suit equipment that works continuously. The sliding design also helps where shaft thermal expansion has to be absorbed.
When you select an NU bearing, start with the radial load, the operating speed and the environment. Mounting has to line up shaft and housing precisely so no extra stress lands on the rollers. Grease or oil lubrication, applied correctly, cuts wear and keeps the bearing in service longer. Sealing depends on how much contamination is present; dirty conditions call for additional seals. Choose internal clearance to match the working temperature and the mounting fit. Use the right tools during installation to avoid damaging rollers and raceways.
For replacements, SKF NU series bearings can be interchanged with products from other makers that use the same dimensional and design designation, including NU series from European or Asian manufacturers. Tolerances and internal clearance can differ from one maker to another, so check them before you commit. It pays to involve a specialist and to supply the complete part number of the original bearing. We can help you review interchangeability and the options that fit your equipment.

Frequently asked questions
- SKF NU 1005 bearing: what are its dimensions?
- SKF NU 1005 measures 25 mm across the bore and 47 mm across the outside diameter; its width is 12 mm (25 x 47 x 12 mm). Those are the boundary dimensions standardized in ISO 15 for basic designation NU 1005.
- What does the NU designation mean in a cylindrical roller bearing?
- It means the outer ring has two ribs and the inner ring has none. This allows relative axial displacement between the rings, which helps compensate for thermal expansion while carrying high radial loads.
- Where are SKF NU series bearings typically used?
- They are common in electric motors, pumps, compressors, gearboxes and industrial machinery that sees high radial loads and considerable speeds, especially where shafts are subject to thermal expansion.
- How do I request a quote for NU bearings from MR?
- Send the bearing part number via WhatsApp or email to MR Industrial Accessories LLC. We will respond promptly with the information you need for your quote.
