Product Overview: The NK 1616 Needle Roller Bearing
The NK 1616 is a high-capacity machined ring needle roller bearing with dimensions of 16x24x16mm. As part of our extensive NK Series, this bearing is designed Without Inner Ring, allowing it to run directly on a hardened and ground shaft. This configuration provides a compact and economical solution for applications where space is limited but high radial load capacity is essential. Its robust design features a machined and ground outer ring, which offers superior rigidity and running accuracy compared to drawn cup types.
As a leading supplier of industrial Needle Roller Bearings, we ensure our NK 1616 bearings meet stringent industry standards. They are engineered to provide reliable performance in demanding environments, making them a preferred choice for a wide range of industrial machinery and automotive applications where precision and durability are critical.
Features of the NK 1616 Bearing
- High Radial Load Capacity: The full complement of needle rollers provides a very high load-carrying capability within a small radial footprint.
- Compact and Space-Saving: The design without an inner ring allows for a larger shaft diameter, optimizing rigidity and reducing overall assembly size.
- Machined Outer Ring: Provides high rigidity, making it suitable for heavy loads and ensuring accurate roller guidance.
- Cage-Guided Rollers: The cage ensures uniform spacing of the needle rollers, reducing friction and heat generation, which allows for higher speed capabilities.
- Optimized for Hardened Shafts: Designed to use the shaft as the inner raceway, offering a cost-effective and precise bearing arrangement.
- Low Cross-Sectional Height: Ideal for applications where radial space is a constraint.
Applications of NK 1616 Bearings
- Automotive Transmissions: Commonly used in gearboxes and planetary gear sets due to their high load capacity and compact size.
- Two-Stroke Engines: Ideal for connecting rods and piston pin applications.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides robust support for gear shafts, handling high radial forces.
- Pumps and Compressors: Used to support rotating shafts in various types of industrial pumps.
- Power Tools: Integrated into electric and pneumatic tools to handle high-speed rotational loads.
- Printing and Textile Machinery: Ensures smooth and precise movement of rollers and other rotating components.
- Construction Equipment: Employed in hydraulic pumps, motors, and pivot points where heavy loads and oscillations occur.
Benefits of Using the NK 1616 Bearing
- Enhanced Design Flexibility: The absence of an inner ring allows engineers to design more compact and rigid systems.
- Improved Performance: The machined outer ring contributes to better running accuracy and stability under heavy loads.
- Reduced Maintenance: High-quality materials and precision manufacturing lead to a longer service life and fewer replacements.
- Cost-Effectiveness: By using the shaft as the inner raceway, it eliminates the cost of a separate inner ring component.
- High Operational Reliability: The robust construction ensures consistent performance even in challenging industrial environments.
- Efficient Operation: Low friction characteristics contribute to reduced energy consumption and minimal heat buildup.
