Ball Bearing Units
Overview
NSK ball bearing units combine a bearing, housing, and sealing components into a standardized form used in the key parts of equipment. They are versatile and easy to use.
Using a ball bearing unit simplifies the surrounding structure and makes mounting and maintenance more efficient. As they provide the proper alignment, bearing units help prevent moment loads caused by mounting error. Bearing units can also be easily mounted on the machine base or side walls so they can be used in all kinds of places, including frame structures.
With their impressive features, applications for bearing units are expanding daily, and NSK's wide range of ball bearing units continues to meet performance needs across operating environments.
