How the NA69-22 model number is decoded
The dimension series 69 needle roller bearings with inner ring execution NA 69/22 measures 22×39×30 mm: needle rollers caged between a flanged outer ring and a ground inner ring, used wherever the journal cannot serve as a raceway. In SKF nomenclature the leading letters mark a machined-ring needle bearing with inner ring: figures state 22 mm d and 30 mm B, the 39 mm outside diameter from the dimension series 69 needle roller bearings with inner ring, and the 2RS suffix would add contact seals. Execution notes: the inner ring is ground on bore and raceway, so the shaft seat is a normal k5/j6; the flanged outer ring needs no housing shoulder, and NA 49 2RS executions add seals with a wider outer ring. Minimum load matters: below roughly 0.02·C the rollers skid and smear; preloading the pivot or specifying a heavier execution avoids the glazing that pure oscillation produces on these raceways. Because the inner ring is separable, mount it first against its shoulder, then slide the outer ring and roller set over it — the order avoids forcing rollers across the shaft threads or burrs.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- electric motor armature shafts with ground seats
- printing and paper-handling rollers
- gearbox shafts where the journal cannot be hardened on site
- wheel and lever pivots needing a replaceable inner ring
Known failure patterns
- needle edge loading and raceway denting when the shaft deflects beyond the compensation range
- polymer cage deformation when the local temperature exceeds the 120 °C sustained limit
- grease starvation at the roller ends when relubrication intervals are stretched in dirty duty
- brinelling of raceways from impact or pressing force transmitted through the rolling elements
- inner-ring raceway spalling after the narrow ring section runs hot with excessive interference
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- On a 22 mm seat the housing bore quality dominates life: a bore 0.02 mm out of round pinches the 39 mm ring or cup into a lobed shape, and the rollers then trace the housing's geometry error, not the design load.
- Contamination, not fatigue, kills most small needle bearings: with raceways this narrow, one hard particle dents a full-width line — seal the housing even when the bearing execution itself is open.
- Do not interchange envelope-identical needle families blindly: NA 69/22 shares its 22×39×30 mm outline with inner-ring and sealed siblings whose ratings differ — the family letters are part of the specification, not decoration.
- The 36.9/57 kN ratings and 150 g mass are SKF catalogue values transcribed from ch. 7.4 of PUB BU/P1 17000 (PDF table page 640); combined-type axial ratings appear in the text above because the structured record carries radial values only.
Frequently asked questions
What mounting mistakes ruin a NA 69/22?
Mount the inner ring on the 22 mm seat first (induction heat, max 120 °C, or press), then fit the flanged outer ring into the H7 housing bore. Verify free rotation and, for 2RS executions, check the wider outer ring against the housing depth.
Is the NA 69/22 sealed?
No — the open execution relies on housing seals; 2RS executions of the 49 series add contact seals with a wider outer ring as a separate order number.
Which dimensions does the NA 69/22 have?
A NA 69/22 measures 22 mm bore/Fw × 39 mm outside diameter × 30 mm width (0.866 × 1.535 × 1.181 in). From SKF catalogue PUB BU/P1 17000: radial dynamic rating C 36.9 kN, static C0 57 kN, fatigue limit Pu 7.2 kN, limiting speed 15,000 r/min, reference speed 14,000 r/min, mass about 150 g.
What does NA 69/22 mean in SKF part numbering?
The letters mark a machined-ring needle roller bearing with inner ring: 22 mm bore, 30 mm width, 39 mm OD per the series plan. The hardened inner ring is the raceway, so an ordinary k5 shaft seat suffices.
