The SKF NKX Z series needle roller bearing is a combined bearing that integrates a radial needle roller and cage assembly and an axial ball washer, all in a compact assembly with a reduced section. It is used where space is limited and simultaneous radial and axial loads must be supported, for example in gearboxes, pumps and machine tools. MR Accesorios Industriales supplies this SKF line with technical advice so you can choose the correct size for your mounting.

The NKX Z series designation reads as follows: NKX identifies the category of combined needle roller bearings with an axial component, and the number that follows —12, 15, 17, 20, 25, 30, 35 or 40— indicates the shaft diameter in millimeters. The suffix Z indicates that the bearing incorporates a lateral shield plate, which prevents the entry of contaminants and retains lubrication. Thus, an NKX 20 Z is mounted on a 20 mm shaft, while an NKX 35 Z corresponds to a 35 mm shaft. The series covers a range of sizes for different shaft sizes.

These bearings are used in industries where radial space is critical and combined loads are present: machine tools, pumps, compressors, gearboxes, transmission equipment and lifting systems. In Argentina, they are commonly found in the metalworking, food and automotive sectors, both in production lines and in maintenance. Their compact design makes it possible to replace bulkier assemblies, simplifying the housing design and reducing the weight of the assembly.

To select the correct bearing, take into account the radial and axial load it must support, the rotation speed and the environmental conditions. The Z sealing is suitable for environments with moderate dust or dirt; if there are liquids or humidity, other protections should be evaluated. During mounting, check the alignment of the shaft and the housing, and make sure the internal clearance is adequate. Lubrication must be the one indicated by the manufacturer, with just the right amount to prevent overheating. Mounting with an incorrect fit can reduce the service life of the bearing.

As for equivalents, combined needle roller bearings with an axial ball component are available from different brands under their own nomenclatures. If you need to replace an existing bearing, the safest approach is to compare the main dimensions —shaft diameter, outside diameter and width— and the load capacities. Not all brands use the same suffixes to indicate protections or tolerances. Therefore, before interchanging, consult our technical team to validate dimensional and functional compatibility.
