The NTN BK series needle roller bearing is an open-type needle roller bearing designed to withstand high radial loads in tight spaces. It is used in applications requiring high load capacity and rigidity, such as machine tools, transmissions and industrial equipment. MR Accesorios Industriales sells the NTN BK series, with more than 80 years of experience in the Argentine market.
The BK series designation is interpreted as follows: the letters BK indicate a needle roller bearing with a steel cage, single row, without an inner ring. The numbers that follow indicate the main dimensions: the first two digits correspond to the bore diameter (in mm) and the next two to the total width. For example, BK0509 has a 5 mm bore and a 9 mm width; BK1010, a 10 mm bore and a 10 mm width; BK1212, a 12 mm bore and a 12 mm width. This nomenclature allows the required size to be identified quickly.
NTN BK series needle roller bearings are used in a wide variety of industrial applications in Argentina: from machine tools and power transmission equipment to pumps, compressors and lifting systems. They are common in the automotive, metallurgical, food and packaging industries, where considerable radial loads must be supported in compact spaces. Their design without an inner ring allows them to be mounted directly on hardened and ground shafts, which reduces the overall size of the assembly.
To correctly select a BK series needle roller bearing, take into account the radial load it must withstand, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. It is essential to verify that the shaft meets the appropriate hardness and roughness to serve as a raceway. Mounting must be carried out with appropriate tools to avoid damaging the needles and the cage. Lubrication can be grease or oil, depending on the application, and an adequate lubricant film must be ensured. Alignment between the shaft and the housing is critical for correct operation and a long service life.
Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, NTN BK series needle roller bearings can be replaced by products from other brands that follow the same designation and dimensions. It is important to verify the tolerances and the type of cage, as they may vary between manufacturers. For safe interchangeability, it is always advisable to consult a specialist and provide the complete part number of the original part. MR Accesorios Industriales can advise you on selecting the appropriate alternative.
