The NTN HK FM series needle roller bearing is a radial needle roller bearing with a steel cage, of very thin section, designed to withstand high radial loads in tight spaces. It is used in transmissions, electric motors, pumps, compressors and agricultural machinery, where the limited outer diameter and high load capacity are decisive. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this series.
The HK FM series designation is read as follows: the letters HK identify a cage-type needle roller bearing, with dimensions according to standard. The numbers that follow indicate the bore diameter and the width, coded in millimeters. The suffix FM indicates a stamped steel cage, suitable for high speeds and moderate temperatures. This nomenclature allows the main dimensions to be identified quickly without the need for a catalog.
In Argentine industry, HK FM series needle roller bearings are used in a wide variety of applications: transmission boxes, electric motors, centrifugal pumps, air compressors, machine tools, mining equipment and agricultural machinery. Their ability to withstand high radial loads with a low-profile section makes them ideal for spaces where a conventional ball bearing cannot be mounted. They are also used in pulleys, gears and cam mechanisms, where precision and rigidity are critical.
To correctly select an HK FM bearing, take into account the radial load, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. The stamped steel cage allows high speeds, but it is important to ensure proper lubrication, whether with grease or oil, depending on the operating regime. Mounting must be carried out with an interference fit on the shaft and with adequate radial clearance; incorrect alignment can reduce the service life. Sealing will depend on external contamination: in dirty environments, it is advisable to provide additional radial shaft seals. The HK series does not include integrated seals, so protection must be considered in the design of the assembly.
Regarding equivalents and interchangeability, NTN HK FM series needle roller bearings can be replaced by products from other brands that follow the same dimensional designation, such as SKF, FAG, NSK or INA, provided that the tolerances and load capacity are verified. It is essential to confirm the bore diameter, the outer diameter and the width, as well as the cage type and internal clearance. For a safe replacement, consult our technical team: we will indicate the compatible alternative or quote the exact part number you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the FM suffix mean in HK bearings?
- The FM suffix indicates that the bearing has a stamped steel cage. This cage is suitable for high speeds and offers good mechanical strength. It is important not to confuse it with other suffixes that indicate seals or special materials.
- How do I choose the right HK bearing for my application?
- To choose the correct HK bearing, consider the shaft diameter, the radial load, the speed and the available space. The HK series is characterized by its thin section and high load capacity. If you have any doubts, send us the data and we will advise you.
- Do HK FM bearings need additional lubrication?
- Yes, HK FM bearings do not come permanently lubricated from the factory. The appropriate lubrication must be applied according to the application, whether grease or oil. Correct lubrication extends the service life and reduces wear.
