RN311M Cylindrical Roller Bearing 55x106.5x29mm - Metal Cage, 2RS Seal, Industrial/Mining
I. Basic Parameters
Structural Design
RN311M is a single-row cylindrical roller bearing with a metal cage (identified by the suffix "M"). It consists of an inner ring, outer ring, cylindrical rollers, and a stamped steel cage. It features high radial load capacity and low frictional resistance, making it suitable for industrial scenarios with high requirements for rotational speed and load.
Dimensional Specifications
- Inner diameter: 55mm
- Outer diameter: 106.5mm
- Width: 29mm
- Weight: Approximately 1.0kg
These dimensions comply with the ISO 15 size series standard and fit the installation space of common equipment such as reducers and textile machinery.
Material and Process
- Bearing steel: High-carbon chromium bearing steel (GCr15) is used, subjected to quenching and tempering treatment. The surface hardness reaches HRC58-62, providing excellent wear resistance and impact resistance.
- Machining precision: Raceway precision reaches class P5, with a surface roughness of Ra≤0.8μm, ensuring stable operation.
II. Performance Indicators
Load Capacity
- Dynamic radial load: Approximately 105kN
- Static radial load: Approximately 135kN
It can withstand moderate impact loads, suitable for heavy-load working conditions such as mining machinery and printing equipment.
Rotational Speed Characteristics
- Rotational speed with grease lubrication: 4800r/min
- Rotational speed with oil lubrication: 6300r/min
The cylindrical roller design reduces sliding friction between rolling elements and raceways, making it suitable for medium and high-speed operation.
Sealing and Lubrication
- Standard configuration: Double-sided rubber seal (2RS) with IP54 protection class, effectively blocking dust and moisture.
- Lubrication recommendation: Use lithium-based grease (NLGI Grade 2) with an operating temperature range of -30℃~+120℃. The maintenance cycle under normal working conditions is 2000 hours.
III. Application Fields
Industrial Machinery
- Reducers: Such as main transmission parts of cycloidal pinwheel reducers and gearboxes.
- Textile equipment: Used in high-precision transmission systems such as large cylinder motors and winding mechanisms.
- Mining machinery: Suitable for supporting shaft systems of crushers and conveyors.
Special Working Conditions
- Dusty environments: IP54 seal can handle dusty scenarios such as cement plants and quarries.
- Medium-temperature environments: The operating temperature range of -30℃~+120℃ covers most industrial environments.
IV. Installation and Maintenance
Installation Requirements
- Tool usage: Hydraulic or hot-fitting methods must be used for installation to avoid raceway damage from hammering.
- Coaxiality control: After installation, the radial runout of inner and outer rings must be ≤0.08mm to ensure operational precision.
- Bolt pre-tightening: The recommended torque for M16 mounting bolts is 220N・m (tightened in three gradient steps).
Maintenance Standards
- Lubrication inspection: Check the grease condition every 500 hours, replenish or replace if necessary.
- Seal monitoring: Regularly observe the wear of the seal ring and replace it in time to prevent leakage.
- Service life prediction: Analyze operating data through vibration monitoring equipment to estimate the remaining service life.
V. Technical Alternatives
Equivalent Model References
- Economic alternative: RN311 (nylon cage) with 90% of the load capacity of RN311M, suitable for light-load standard working conditions.
- High-protection type: RN311M/C3 (with increased clearance), suitable for scenarios with high temperatures or obvious shaft system expansion.
Performance Optimization Options
- High-speed type: Customized class P4 precision, with maximum rotational speed increased to 7000r/min.
- Long-life type: Using carburized steel material (e.g., 20CrMnTi), with a rated life L10 of up to 8000 hours.
VI. Certification and Inspection
Quality Control
- Factory inspection: 100% pass hardness, clearance, and sealing performance tests; sampled products undergo 200-hour life bench tests.
- Certification standards: Complies with international and domestic standards such as ISO 15 and GB/T 283; CE certification is available (customization required).
