Product Overview: The NKS 25 Heavy Series Needle Roller Bearing
The NKS 25 is a high-capacity machined ring needle roller bearing, precision-engineered with dimensions of 25x38x22mm. As a key component in our Needle Roller Bearings range, this bearing belongs to the heavy series, designed to handle substantial radial loads within a very compact cross-section. It is part of the Machined Ring Bearings collection and is designed for applications where the shaft itself can be hardened and ground to serve as the inner raceway, making it an exceptionally space-saving solution.
This design, which operates Without Inner Ring, is ideal for rigid and precise machinery. The robust, machined outer ring provides high stability and prevents distortion under heavy loads, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. Our NKS 25 bearings are manufactured to strict industry standards, offering a dependable and efficient solution for various engineering challenges.
Key Features of the NKS 25 Bearing
- High Radial Load Capacity: The heavy series design with a full complement of rollers allows it to support significant radial forces.
- Compact and Space-Saving: By eliminating the inner ring, it offers a minimal radial cross-section, perfect for constrained designs.
- Machined Outer Ring: Provides excellent rigidity and dimensional accuracy, suitable for high-precision applications.
- Direct Shaft Mounting: Designed to run directly on a hardened and ground shaft, simplifying assembly and reducing component count.
- Cage-Guided Rollers: The cage ensures proper roller guidance, enabling higher speed capabilities compared to full complement designs.
- Enhanced Durability: Constructed from high-quality bearing steel for superior wear resistance and a long operational lifespan.
Common Applications
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides robust support for gears and shafts in high-torque transmissions.
- Automotive Transmissions: Used in gear sets and planetary carriers where space is limited but load capacity is critical.
- Construction Machinery: Ideal for pivot points, hydraulic pumps, and transmission systems in heavy equipment.
- Machine Tools: Supports spindles and moving components requiring high rotational accuracy and rigidity.
- Two-Stroke Engines: Commonly used for connecting rods and crankshafts due to its compact size and load handling.
- Pumps and Compressors: Ensures reliable operation of rotating assemblies under continuous heavy loads.
- Printing Presses: Provides stable and precise support for rollers and cylinders.
Benefits of Using the NKS 25 Bearing
- Optimized Design Footprint: Enables more compact and lightweight machinery by removing the need for an inner ring.
- Increased Rigidity: The solid, machined outer ring contributes to a more stable and rigid bearing arrangement.
- Cost-Effective Solution: Reduces overall costs by using the shaft as the raceway, eliminating an extra component.
- Improved Machine Performance: Low friction and high load capacity lead to enhanced operational efficiency and reliability.
- Extended Service Intervals: High-quality materials and design result in less frequent maintenance and replacement.
- Versatile Integration: Suitable for a wide array of applications where radial space is a primary design constraint.
