The INA NK-XL series needle roller bearing is a single-row radial bearing with a machined outer ring and no inner ring, designed to withstand high radial loads in very tight mounting spaces. It is used in applications where the shaft acts directly as the raceway, which simplifies the design and reduces the weight of the assembly. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this series with the technical assistance needed to select the correct part number for each application.
The NK-XL series designation is read as follows: the letters NK identify a needle roller bearing with a machined outer ring and no inner ring; the first number that follows indicates the bore diameter (for example, in NK12/12-XL the bore is 12 mm); the second number, separated by a slash, indicates the overall width of the bearing (in NK12/12-XL, 12 mm). The -XL suffix indicates the manufacturer's current design, with dimensional and load capacity optimizations. Thus, NK16/20-XL corresponds to a bearing with a 16 mm bore diameter and 20 mm width.
These bearings are used in a wide variety of industrial equipment in Argentina: machine tools, pumps, compressors, gearboxes, conveyors, packaging equipment and agricultural machinery, among others. Their ability to withstand significant radial loads with a very low height profile makes them ideal for gearboxes, shaft supports and mechanisms where radial space is critical. They are also used in applications requiring high rigidity and rotational precision, such as grinding machine spindles or milling heads.
To correctly select an NK-XL bearing, take into account the radial load it must withstand, the rotational speed, the available lubrication and the type of sealing required. Since they do not have an inner ring, the raceway must be machined directly on the shaft, with the appropriate hardness and roughness; otherwise, it is recommended to combine it with a suitable inner sleeve. During assembly, ensure precise alignment between the shaft and the housing, and verify the radial clearance according to the application. Lubrication can be grease or oil, and in contaminated environments additional seals or retainers should be provided.
Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, needle roller bearings without an inner ring from other brands can replace those of the NK-XL series as long as the main dimensions (bore diameter, outer diameter and width) and load capacities match. It is essential to verify the tolerances and the type of design (open or sealed) to ensure equivalent operation. For critical applications, always consult our technical team before defining a replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the -XL suffix mean in NK bearings?
- The -XL suffix identifies the manufacturer's current design, with design improvements that optimize load capacity and performance. It does not change the mounting dimensions, so it is interchangeable with previous versions of the same series.
- Does this bearing include an inner ring?
- No, the NK-XL series does not include an inner ring. The shaft acts as the direct raceway, so it must have the appropriate hardness and finish. If your shaft does not meet those requirements, we can offer you a compatible inner sleeve.
- How do I request a quote for an NK-XL bearing?
- Write to us via WhatsApp with the complete bearing part number (for example, NK12/12-XL) or the dimensions of your application. Our technical team will respond promptly with availability and the alternatives that best suit your needs.
