NU 206 ECP (Cylindrical Roller bearing)
The NU 206 ECP is a Cylindrical Roller bearing with boundary dimensions of 30 x 62 x 16 mm (bore x outside diameter x width). It has a basic dynamic load rating of 38.5 kN and a basic static load rating of 34 kN.
Cross-Reference
| Manufacturer | Reference |

| SKF | NU 206 ECP |
| Timken | NU206 |
| FAG (Schaeffler) | NU206-E-XL |
Cross-references are matched on the ISO 15 boundary dimensions
(30 x 62 x 16 mm) and bearing type, which is what makes parts interchangeable. The
suffixes (e.g. -2RS, -2Z, -E1) encode seals, shields, and internal design
variants, not the envelope size.

Type & Application Notes
Cylindrical Roller bearings are high radial capacity with line contact and no axial location (NU) or one-direction location (NJ). The NU 206 ECP is commonly found in electric motors, gearboxes, and rolling mills with heavy radial loads. Dynamic rating 38.5 kN sets the load a bearing can carry for a one-million-revolution rating life (L10), while the static rating 34 kN governs the maximum load a stationary bearing can withstand without permanent deformation.
Interchange Notes
When substituting the NU 206 ECP:
- Match the boundary dimensions (30 x 62 x 16 mm) exactly — this is what guarantees fit.
- Match the bearing type (Cylindrical Roller); mixing roller and ball types changes stiffness, speed limits, and load capacity.
- Match or exceed the dynamic load rating (38.5 kN) for the intended life.
- Respect the seal/shield suffix the application requires (open, Z, 2Z, RS, or 2RS).
