Description

SKF NKX 30 Z is a needle roller bearing reference, within Bearings. Request a quote for NKX 30 Z via WhatsApp or email with the quantity you need; we respond promptly with lead time and equivalents.

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.

If you already have your bearing code, write to us on WhatsApp and we will send you the quote. At MR Accesorios Industriales we work with SKF and other brands so you can find the part your equipment needs. Send us the complete code —for example, NKX 25 Z— and we will quote you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Z suffix mean on an NKX bearing?
The Z suffix indicates that the bearing has a lateral shield plate. This plate prevents the entry of dust and dirt, and helps retain the lubricant. It is a simple protection, suitable for environments with moderate contamination. If the equipment works with liquids or a lot of humidity, a more effective seal should be evaluated.
How do I choose the NKX Z bearing size for my shaft?
The number that follows NKX indicates the shaft diameter in millimeters. For example, NKX 20 Z is for a 20 mm shaft. Also check the outside diameter and the width that your housing allows. If you have doubts, send us the measurements of your mounting and we will advise you.
Can I replace an NKX Z bearing with another brand?
Yes, as long as the main dimensions and load capacities are equivalent. Nomenclatures vary between manufacturers, so do not rely only on the code. Compare shaft diameter, outside diameter and width. If you send us the original code, we will help you find the right equivalent.
