Find by measured dimensions

Enter bore d, outside diameter D and width B. Use decimals or inch fractions such as 1/2 or 1 1/4.

Exact model evidence

NU 228 dimensions and recorded technical data

The recorded NU 228 base designation measures 140×250×42 mm (inside diameter d × outside diameter D × width B). This answer uses unsuffixed records from NTN. It does not assign the same dimensions or operating ratings to every suffix.

The numeric series boundary is preserved: a longer number is not included merely because its first digits match. 19 recorded variants are listed. A dash means the value is missing, not zero.

Catalogue parameters for NU 228

Choose the complete brand and marking before reading a value. These source-labelled records add dimensions, construction and engineering properties where they were recorded; a shared model number does not establish interchangeability.

Units, ranges and minimum/maximum qualifiers are retained. The data is a dated catalogue reference, not a certified drawing, a complete current specification or an operating approval.

NTN NU228

NTN NU228 — 24 recorded parameters

Single row cylindrical roller bearings

Reference: NTN Europe public product catalogue; source snapshot 2026-10-02.

For this exact NTN NU228 record, the nominal envelope is 140×250×42 mm (d = internal diameter; D = external diameter; B = bearing/inner ring width). These are bearing or washer dimensions, not shaft/housing fit limits.

Calculated inch equivalent: 5.511811×9.842520×1.653543 in, in the same axis order. The conversion uses exactly 25.4 mm per inch and rounds to six decimals; it is not an inch-series designation or a machining tolerance.

Keep the prefix when matching this cylindrical roller bearing. The source construction below, including any axial-load direction statement, belongs only to the complete recorded designation; a similar NU, NJ or NUP number is not an approved substitute.

Use grease- and oil-qualified speed entries only for the named lubrication condition. Dynamic C and static C0 are catalogue ratings, not a universal safe load or installation approval; shoulder and fillet limits are separate from boundary size.

How to compare these values

Use the displayed dimension names and original symbols. Housing length L, height H2 and flange width are not bearing outside diameter D. A catalogue width with an unverified symbol must not be assumed to be inner-ring width B or assembly width T. Open the product record for mounting dimensions and geometry.
Inch values are calculated from the recorded millimetres using 25.4 mm per inch, rounded to six decimal places. They do not change a metric bearing into an inch-series bearing. Gram values are converted from the recorded mass in kilograms.
C and C0 describe different rating conditions. They are not a single safe working-load limit and cannot replace an application load calculation.
Reference and limiting speeds are separate catalogue values. The source grease/oil context is shown where recorded. Lubricant, seals, loads, fit, clearance and cooling affect the usable operating speed.
A common base number does not prove equivalent seals, clearance, precision, material or interchangeability. Open the full designation for these fields.
