NU2224 bearing
120 × 215 × 58 mm
The NU2224 is a cylindrical roller bearing with a 120 mm bore, 215 mm outside diameter and 58 mm width. NJ2224, NUP2224 share these boundary dimensions with a different flange arrangement. Wide light series; NJ22 and NUP22 share these dimensions.

Designation explained
What NU2224 means
Standard bearing numbers encode the type, the dimension series and the bore. Anything after the base number — seals, clearance, cage — is a suffix.
| Part | Meaning |
|---|---|
NU | Cylindrical roller bearing, two flanges on the outer ring, none on the inner ring (NJ, NUP and N are other flange arrangements) |
22 | Dimension series 22 |
24 | 24 → 120 mm bore (24 × 5) |
Variants
Common NU2224 variants
Suffixes change the bearing without changing its boundary dimensions. The exact letters differ between manufacturers — always order by the full designation from the maker you choose.
| Suffix | Example | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
NJ / NUP / N | NJ2224 | Other flange arrangements with the same d × D × B — they locate the shaft differently and are not interchangeable without checking |
E / EC | NU2224E | Reinforced internal design with more or larger rollers (higher load rating) |
M / P / J | NU2224-E-M1 | Cage: brass (M), polyamide (P / TVP) or pressed steel (J) |
CN (no suffix) | NU2224 | Normal internal clearance |
C3 | NU2224-C3 | Internal clearance greater than normal — common for electric motors and heated shafts |
C4 | NU2224-C4 | Internal clearance greater than C3 |
Same envelope
Same 120 × 215 × 58 mm, different type
These bearings have exactly the same bore, outside diameter and width but are a different type. They fit the same housing and shaft, but carry loads differently — same size is not the same function.
| Designation | Type | Dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| 22224 | Spherical roller bearing | 120 × 215 × 58 mm |
Same bore
Other 120 mm bore bearings
Every standard bearing in this reference with a 120 mm bore, from light to heavy sections.

| 6224 | Deep groove ball bearing | 215 mm | 40 mm |

About these dimensions. Boundary dimensions follow ISO 15 (radial bearings — boundary dimensions, general plan), dimension series 22, and are the same for every manufacturer of a standard NU2224. Chamfers, load ratings, speed limits and weight depend on the manufacturer and design and are not shown — use the maker's datasheet for engineering decisions. Last checked 9 October 2026.

What size is a NU2224 bearing?
A NU2224 is a cylindrical roller bearing with a 120 mm bore, 215 mm outside diameter and 58 mm width (120 × 215 × 58 mm). These boundary dimensions follow the ISO dimension plan, so they are the same across manufacturers.
Is NJ2224 the same as NU2224?
NJ2224, NUP2224 have the same bore, outside diameter and width as NU2224, but different ring flanges. They guide the shaft axially in different ways, so swapping them changes how the arrangement works.
Can I replace NU2224 with another bearing of the same size?
Other bearing types can share the same 120 × 215 × 58 mm envelope, but a different type has different load directions, speed limits and mounting needs. Same dimensions alone do not make two bearings interchangeable.
Where are the load ratings and speed limits?
They depend on the manufacturer and internal design, so we do not list a single value. Check the datasheet for the exact full designation you intend to use.
