SKF NK Needle Roller Bearing, 15mm Inside Diameter, 23mm Outside Diameter - NK 15/16


This needle roller bearing offers a compact and efficient solution for high-speed, high-load applications in limited radial spaces. With a 15mm inside diameter, 23mm outside diameter, and a 16mm race width, this single-row, open-end bearing features carbon chromium steel rollers and a parallel bore, ensuring reliability and durability under dynamic operating conditions.

Features & Benefits


• High-speed capability with a limiting speed of 26,000 rpm ensures versatility in fast-rotating systems

• Compact design supports significant radial loads in space-constrained environments

• Carbon chromium steel rollers provide high resistance to wear and fatigue

• Sheet steel cage ensures efficient roller guidance and minimal friction

• Static load rating of 14 kN and dynamic load rating of 11 kN for reliable operation

Applications


• Used in gearboxes and transmissions requiring compact, high-performance bearings

• Ideal for small machinery in textile, printing, and packaging industries

• Suitable for power tools and automotive components with rapid rotation

• Applied in agricultural and construction equipment with limited space for bearings

• Effective in robotics and automation systems needing precise motion control

Why is this bearing suitable for high-speed applications?


Its low friction design, combined with a reference speed of 24,000 rpm and a limiting speed of 26,000 rpm, makes it ideal for high-speed machinery where efficiency and durability are essential.

What benefits does the open-end design provide?


The open-end configuration facilitates easy lubrication access and heat dissipation, which can extend the bearing’s service life in demanding conditions.

Can this bearing handle fluctuating loads effectively?


Yes, with a fatigue limit load of 1.66 kN and strong roller material, it’s designed to perform reliably under varying load conditions typical in dynamic equipment.
