Description
SKF NK 80/25 is a needle roller bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for NK 80/25 via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.
The SKF NK series needle roller bearing is a compact radial bearing without an inner ring, designed to withstand high radial loads in reduced spaces. It is mounted directly on a hardened and ground shaft, which allows reducing the size of the assembly. It is a common solution in applications where the outer diameter is limited and high load capacity is needed. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this series in sizes that combine bore diameter and width, such as NK 12/12 or NK 16/20.
The NK series designation is read as NK followed by two numbers separated by a slash: the first indicates the bore diameter in millimeters and the second the bearing width. For example, NK 12/12 has a 12 mm bore diameter and 12 mm width; NK 16/20 has a 16 mm bore and 20 mm width. This nomenclature allows quickly identifying the size without needing to consult additional tables. The NK series does not include an inner ring, so the shaft must meet the appropriate hardness and roughness to act as a raceway.
These bearings are used in industries such as automotive, machine tools, power transmission equipment, pumps, compressors and agricultural machinery. In Argentina, they are common in gearbox repairs, electric motors and linear guidance systems. Their compact design makes them ideal for spaces where a ball bearing or cylindrical roller bearing would not fit. They are also used in slow oscillation applications and at pivot points requiring high radial rigidity.
To correctly select an NK bearing, take into account the radial load it must withstand, the rotational speed and the environmental conditions. Since it has no inner ring, the shaft must have adequate surface hardness, generally hardened and ground, with tight tolerances. Mounting requires precise alignment and adequate lubrication, since the needles are sensitive to lack of lubricant. If the shaft is not prepared, a bearing with an inner ring can be chosen, although that changes the dimensions of the assembly.
Regarding equivalences, other manufacturers offer needle roller bearings with similar designations, but they are not always directly interchangeable. The letters and numbers may vary according to the standard or manufacturer, and tolerances or load capacities may differ. Therefore, when replacing a bearing, it is essential to verify the critical dimensions and operating conditions. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies the SKF brand, but if you need to compare with another reference, we can help you find the right option.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the designation NK 12/12 mean?
- In the NK series, the numbers indicate the bore diameter and the width in millimeters.
NK 12/12corresponds to a bearing with a 12 mm bore diameter and 12 mm width. The outer diameter depends on the series and can be checked in dimensional tables. - Does this bearing need a hardened shaft?
- Yes, since it has no inner ring, the needles roll directly on the shaft. Therefore the shaft must be hardened and ground, with the appropriate hardness and roughness to avoid premature wear. If the shaft does not meet these requirements, a bearing with an inner ring should be used.
- How do I request a quote for SKF bearings?
- You can send us the full bearing part number by WhatsApp. If you do not have it, send us the measurements or a photo and we will help you identify it. At MR Accesorios Industriales we quote and provide the alternatives for your application.
