The SKF RNA series needle roller bearing is a radial bearing without an inner ring, designed to carry high loads in very small radial spaces. It mounts directly on a hardened and ground shaft, which simplifies the design and reduces weight. It is a common solution in transmissions, pumps, compressors and agricultural machinery, where space economy and load capacity are critical. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this line.

The RNA series designation is read as follows: the letters RNA indicate a needle roller bearing without an inner ring, and the number that follows identifies the size and design. For example, in codes with a slash, the numeric prefix corresponds to a specific dimension series and the number after the slash to the shaft diameter in millimeters. In codes with a slash, the numeric prefix indicates the section series and the number after the slash the shaft diameter. The usual suffixes may indicate cage variants, tolerances or treatments, but it is always best to verify the complete code. Codes with four-digit numbers usually refer to larger shaft diameters.

These bearings are used in applications where radial space is limited and loads are considerable. In Argentina, they are common in gearboxes, water pumps, reciprocating compressors, harvester machines and material handling equipment. They also appear in machine tool spindles and in support rollers. Their ability to carry high radial loads with a very low section makes them ideal for replacing bushings in oscillating or continuously rotating mechanisms. Because they have no inner ring, the shaft acts as the raceway, which requires careful machining.

To correctly select an RNA bearing, take into account the hardness and roughness of the shaft, which must meet raceway requirements. Lubrication is critical: it can be grease or oil, depending on the speed and working temperature. Sealing will depend on the environment; in the presence of dust or moisture, adding external seals is recommended. Alignment between the shaft and the housing must be precise to avoid additional loads. During mounting, avoid striking the needles directly and check the radial clearance after installation. If the shaft shows wear, evaluate the possibility of using a repair sleeve.

As for equivalents, needle roller bearings without an inner ring are manufactured under international dimensional standards, so a similar code from another brand may be interchangeable. However, not all brands follow exactly the same tolerances or load capacities. That is why it is always advisable to compare the critical dimensions: shaft diameter, outer diameter and width. MR Accesorios Industriales sells SKF, which guarantees quality and factory backing. If you need to replace an existing bearing, the safest option is to send the complete code engraved on the product.
