Product Overview: NK 1416 Needle Roller Bearing
The NK 1416 is a high-precision machined ring needle roller bearing, featuring key dimensions of 14x22x16mm (Bore Diameter x Outer Diameter x Thickness). As a vital component in our NK Series, this bearing is designed without an inner ring, making it an excellent solution for applications where space is limited and the shaft itself can be hardened and ground to serve as the raceway. This design not only provides a very low cross-sectional height but also maximizes rigidity and load-carrying capacity within a compact footprint.
Part of our extensive Needle Roller Bearings collection, the NK 1416 is engineered for superior performance in demanding industrial environments. Its robust machined outer ring ensures dimensional stability and durability under heavy radial loads and high speeds. For applications requiring an inner ring, compatible components from our Inner Rings collection can be used. Trust our expertise to supply top-quality mechanical parts for your most critical machinery.
Features of the NK 1416 Bearing
- High Radial Load Capacity: The needle roller design allows for a large contact area, providing excellent support for heavy radial loads.
- Compact and Space-Saving: Designed to operate without an inner ring, it offers a minimal radial cross-section, ideal for compact machinery.
- Robust Machined Outer Ring: The solid, machined outer ring provides high rigidity and strength, preventing deformation under load.
- High-Speed Capability: Precision engineering allows for smooth operation at high rotational speeds with low friction.
- Direct Shaft Mounting: Intended for use on a hardened and ground shaft, which acts as the inner raceway, simplifying the overall design.
- Guided Roller Set: The cage guides the needle rollers accurately, ensuring optimal load distribution and reduced friction.
Applications of NK 1416 Bearings
- Automotive Transmissions: Commonly used in gearboxes and clutches where space is at a premium but high performance is essential.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides reliable support for gear shafts, ensuring efficient power transmission.
- Two-Stroke Engines: Ideal for use in connecting rods and piston pins due to its high load capacity and compact size.
- Power Tools: Used in drills, saws, and grinders to support rotating components in a compact housing.
- Pumps and Compressors: Ensures smooth and efficient operation of rotating shafts in various pump and compressor designs.
- Textile and Printing Machinery: Offers precise and reliable support for rollers and shafts in high-speed manufacturing equipment.
- Material Handling Equipment: Suitable for conveyor rollers and other moving parts that require robust and compact bearing solutions.
Benefits of Using the NK 1416 Bearing
- Enhanced Design Flexibility: The absence of an inner ring allows for larger shaft diameters or smaller housing bores, creating more compact designs.
- Increased Rigidity: The direct mounting on the shaft and the solid outer ring contribute to a very rigid bearing arrangement.
- Reduced Weight and Cost: Eliminating the inner ring can lead to a lighter and more cost-effective overall assembly, especially when the shaft is already suitable.
- Improved Operational Efficiency: Low frictional characteristics minimize energy loss and heat generation, leading to longer service life.
- High Durability: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, it offers excellent wear resistance and reliability in tough conditions.
- Simplified Assembly: When the shaft is properly prepared, the bearing is straightforward to install, reducing assembly time.
