What the designation NU 210 ECP means
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| NU | No flange on the inner ring, two flanges on the outer ring — inner ring can float axially |
| 210 | light dimension series — bore code "10" = 10 × 5 = 50 mm |
| EC | Optimized internal design with more and/or larger rollers |
| P | Glass-fibre-reinforced PA66 cage, roller-centred |
Basic rating life of the NU 210 ECP
Basic rating life is L10 = (C / P)p million revolutions, where P is the equivalent dynamic load and p = 10/3 (roller bearing). For a NU 210 ECP with C = 73.5 kN, the table shows what that gives at different load levels. It is the ISO 281 basic life only: it does not include lubrication, contamination, misalignment or reliability modifiers.
| C / P | P as share of C | L10 (million rev) | L10 at 1,500 rpm | L10 at 3,000 rpm |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 33.3% | 39 | 430 | 220 |
| 5 | 20.0% | 214 | 2,400 | 1,200 |
| 8 | 12.5% | 1,024 | 11,400 | 5,700 |
| 12 | 8.3% | 3,956 | 44,000 | 22,000 |
For example, a C / P of 5 means the equivalent load is 14.7 kN on this bearing. Use the Load Calculator to work out P for your actual radial and axial loads.

Common problems on bearings like the NU 210 ECP
Most field failures trace back to lubrication, contamination, fits and alignment rather than the bearing itself. These guides explain how to recognise and prevent them:
