NU340 bearing
200 × 420 × 80 mm
The NU340 is a cylindrical roller bearing with a 200 mm bore, 420 mm outside diameter and 80 mm width. NJ340, NUP340, N340 share these boundary dimensions with a different flange arrangement. Medium series; NJ3, NUP3 and N3 share these dimensions.

Designation explained
What NU340 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) |
3 | Dimension series 03 |
40 | 40 → 200 mm bore (40 × 5) |
Variants
Common NU340 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 | NJ340 | Other flange arrangements with the same d × D × B — they locate the shaft differently and are not interchangeable without checking |
E / EC | NU340E | Reinforced internal design with more or larger rollers (higher load rating) |
M / P / J | NU340-E-M1 | Cage: brass (M), polyamide (P / TVP) or pressed steel (J) |
CN (no suffix) | NU340 | Normal internal clearance |
C3 | NU340-C3 | Internal clearance greater than normal — common for electric motors and heated shafts |
C4 | NU340-C4 | Internal clearance greater than C3 |
Same envelope
Same 200 × 420 × 80 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.
Same bore
Other 200 mm bore bearings
Every standard bearing in this reference with a 200 mm bore, from light to heavy sections.

| 6240 | Deep groove ball bearing | 360 mm | 58 mm |

About these dimensions. Boundary dimensions follow ISO 15 (radial bearings — boundary dimensions, general plan), dimension series 03, and are the same for every manufacturer of a standard NU340. 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 NU340 bearing?
A NU340 is a cylindrical roller bearing with a 200 mm bore, 420 mm outside diameter and 80 mm width (200 × 420 × 80 mm). These boundary dimensions follow the ISO dimension plan, so they are the same across manufacturers.
Is NJ340 the same as NU340?
NJ340, NUP340, N340 have the same bore, outside diameter and width as NU340, but different ring flanges. They guide the shaft axially in different ways, so swapping them changes how the arrangement works.
Can I replace NU340 with another bearing of the same size?
Other bearing types can share the same 200 × 420 × 80 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.
