The INA BK-RS series needle roller bushing is a radial needle roller bearing in bushing form, fitted with a lateral seal, that is mounted directly in the housing without the need for an inner ring. It is used to guide shafts with rotating or reciprocating motion in confined radial spaces, where high load capacity and rigidity are required with a low-profile design. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies it in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

The series designation is read in parts: BK identifies the thin-walled needle roller bushing, the digits that follow indicate the shaft diameter and the width of the rolling zone, and the suffix -RS indicates that the bushing includes a contact seal. Thus, in examples such as BK1012-RS, BK1414-RS or BK2018-RS, the dimensions of the assembly change, but the same product family is maintained.

These bushings appear in machine tools, transmission equipment, pumps, compressors, conveyors and lifting mechanisms, among other industrial applications in Argentina. They are chosen when radial space is limited and the shaft is already hardened and ground, since the needle rollers run directly on the shaft raceway. They are also used in joints, cams and short-travel linear guides where rigidity and low inertia are sought.

To select the bushing, you must verify the shaft diameter and tolerance, the hardness and roughness of its raceway, and the width available in the housing. The -RS seal protects against dust and lubricant loss, so it is advisable to check the condition of the lips and the type of grease or oil. Mounting is done by press fitting or with suitable tools, taking care with alignment to the shaft and avoiding impacts on the needle rollers.

Cross-brand equivalences are resolved by dimensions and seal type, not by the commercial part number: a needle roller bushing with the same dimensions and configuration can be interchanged between manufacturers, as long as tolerances and load capacity are respected. At MR Accesorios Industriales you can check the interchangeability of the BK-RS series with other lines. Send us the part number or model you need on WhatsApp and we will reply shortly.
