Needle Roller Bearing – NK 16/16

The SKF NK 16/16 single row needle roller bearing is designed for applications requiring a compact, high-performance bearing solution. Without an inner ring, it utilizes the shaft itself as a raceway, making it an excellent choice for installations where hardened and ground raceways are provided. Its low cross-sectional height allows for space-efficient bearing arrangements while maintaining excellent load capacity and stiffness.

This bearing features a machined solid outer ring with two integral flanges, ensuring precise axial guidance of the needle roller and cage assembly. The robust sheet steel cage provides even load distribution and durability, making the bearing suitable for demanding operating conditions. Additionally, the outer ring includes an annular groove with lubrication holes, enabling relubrication during service to extend operational life.

Built from high-quality bearing steel, the NK 16/16 offers reliability and long service performance under heavy radial loads. Its ability to accommodate axial displacement in both directions, combined with high limiting speeds, makes it a versatile solution for a wide range of industrial applications, including gearboxes, transmissions, and machinery where space and strength are critical.
