Needle Roller and Thrust Ball Bearing – NKX 17 Z

The NKX 17 Z combined needle roller and thrust ball bearing is designed to deliver both radial and axial load support in a single, compact component. By combining a radial needle roller bearing with a thrust ball bearing, it offers robust performance while reducing the need for separate bearing arrangements, making it highly space-efficient.

A key feature of this bearing is the capped thrust part, which incorporates a stamped steel cover. This acts as a gap-type seal to retain grease and provide consistent lubrication, minimizing maintenance requirements and prolonging service life. The steel construction ensures excellent durability, while the caged design in both radial and thrust sections maintains reliable roller and ball guidance.

Engineered for efficiency, the NKX 17 Z provides high load carrying capacity with low cross-sectional height, making it well-suited for demanding applications where installation space is limited. Its design supports relatively high operating speeds while ensuring reliability in heavy-duty conditions, offering a balance of compactness, strength, and endurance.
