Product Overview: The NK 2416 Needle Roller Bearing
The NK 2416 is a high-capacity machined ring needle roller bearing with principal dimensions of 24x36x16mm. As a key component in our NK Series, this bearing is designed without an inner ring, utilizing a hardened and ground shaft as its direct raceway. This configuration allows for an extremely compact and rigid bearing arrangement, making it ideal for applications where radial space is limited but high load-carrying capacity is essential. The outer ring is precision-machined from bearing steel, providing excellent stability and durability under demanding operational conditions.
As part of our comprehensive range of Needle Roller Bearings, the NK 2416 is engineered for superior performance in various industrial and automotive applications. Its caged roller design ensures proper guidance of the needle rollers, enabling reliable operation at high speeds while minimizing friction. This bearing is a cost-effective and space-saving solution for engineers and designers seeking robust performance in a minimal footprint.
Key Features of the NK 2416 Bearing
- Compact Design: Low cross-sectional height saves significant radial space, allowing for smaller and lighter machinery.
- High Radial Load Capacity: The full complement of needle rollers provides exceptional load-bearing capability relative to its size.
- Without Inner Ring: Designed to run directly on a hardened and ground shaft, reducing the number of components and overall cost.
- Machined Outer Ring: A solid and rigid outer ring provides high stability and is suitable for press-fitting into housings.
- Cage-Guided Rollers: The cage ensures optimal roller alignment, enabling higher speeds and reducing friction and heat generation.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to strict tolerances for reliable performance and interchangeability.
Common Applications of NK 2416 Bearings
- Automotive Transmissions: Used in gear sets and shafts where space is tight and loads are high.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides robust support for gears and shafts in compact industrial drive systems.
- Two-Stroke Engines: Ideal for connecting rods and crankshafts due to its high performance and small size.
