Dimension series: bore 25 mm, OD 52 mm, width 18 mm

AEM

Suffix: Automotive / Engineering Machinery — modified cage design for automotive gearbox duty

The GOST 66-series cylindrical roller bearing corresponds to the international NUP205 / NU205 series. Dimensions are fully compatible with ISO 15 standards.

Design & Construction

The 66-42205AEM is a single-row cylindrical roller bearing designed for Lada VAZ gearbox, driveshaft, and intermediate support applications.

  • Line contact between cylindrical rollers and raceways delivers significantly higher radial load capacity than equivalent-size ball bearings

  • Separable inner and outer rings — simplifies installation and replacement in gearbox assemblies

  • AEM modified cage — engineered for automotive gearbox vibration and shock load conditions

  • Open design — allows field lubrication with gearbox oil or grease

  • High radial stiffness — suitable for precision shaft positioning in manual gearboxes

  • GCr15 / AISI 52100 through-hardened steel — 60–64 HRC, full material traceability available

⚠️ Cross-reference is for dimensional reference only. NUP-type (double-rib, can carry limited axial load in both directions) and NU-type (single-rib, radial load only) have different internal configurations. Always confirm the correct sub-type against your OEM workshop manual before substitution.

FAQ

Q: Which Lada VAZ models use the 66-42205AEM bearing?

The 66-42205AEM is widely used in Lada VAZ Classic series (2101–2107) and front-wheel-drive series (2108–2115) manual gearbox assemblies. It is one of the most common gearbox bearings in the Russian and CIS automotive aftermarket.

Q: What is the difference between 66-42205AEM and NUP205?

The 66-42205AEM is manufactured to GOST 5577 standard. Dimensions (25×52×18mm) are identical to the international NUP205 standard. The AEM suffix denotes an automotive-duty modified cage design optimized for gearbox operating conditions.

Q: Can this bearing carry axial loads?

Cylindrical roller bearings (GOST 66-series) are designed primarily for radial loads. NUP-type variants can carry limited bidirectional axial loads due to the double-rib design. NU-type carries radial loads only. Confirm the correct sub-type per OEM specification.

Q: What lubrication is recommended?

Use NLGI Grade 2 lithium-complex grease or the gearbox oil specified by the vehicle manufacturer. Follow OEM-recommended lubrication intervals and oil change schedules.

Q: What is the correct installation procedure?

Press-fit installation using a bearing press or induction heater is recommended. Never strike the bearing directly with a hammer. Ensure the shaft and housing are clean, dimensionally correct, and free of burrs before installation.

Q: Is OEM / private-label packaging available?

Yes. Custom box printing (your brand / part number), laser-engraved part number and logo on the bearing ring, and full inner/outer branded packaging are all available. All IP rights remain yours. MOQ and pricing on request.

Q: What documentation is available?

GCr15 / AISI 52100 material certificates, dimensional inspection reports, hardness test reports (60–64 HRC), packing lists, commercial invoices, certificates of origin. SGS / BV / TÜV third-party inspection supported on request.

Q: What is the MOQ and lead time?

Minimum 1 pc accepted for sample evaluation. Volume pricing from 10 pcs. Standard lead time: 7–15 days ex-stock / 20–30 days for production orders. Trade terms: FOB Qingdao / CIF / EXW available.
