Cylindrical bearing type NP has a double-ribbed inner ring and a single-ribbed outer ring with an abutting loose rib, which allows the bearing to provide axial location and to carry light thrust loads in both directions. Factors governing radial and thrust load capacities are the same for Types NJ.

Size range: 80 mm to 2000 mm OD
