Product Overview: The NKI 2216 Needle Roller Bearing
The NKI 2216 is a high-capacity needle roller bearing with machined rings and an inner ring, featuring dimensions of 22x34x16mm. As a key component in our NKI Series, this bearing is engineered for applications demanding high radial load-carrying capacity within a minimal cross-sectional height. Its design, part of the broader Needle Roller Bearings category, makes it ideal for compact and rigid bearing arrangements where the shaft itself cannot be hardened and ground as a raceway.
The NKI 2216 is manufactured to precise standards, ensuring reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. The inclusion of a separable inner ring provides application flexibility, allowing it to be used in various machinery configurations. It is an excellent choice for engineers and technicians looking for a durable and space-saving solution for their rotational needs.
