How the NA4922-XL model number is decoded
envelope 110×150×40 mm: 110 mm bore accepts a normal-tolerance machined shaft via the integral inner ring, with a thin 20.0 mm radial section packed with small-diameter needle rollers C is 149 kN and C0 290 kN at the 110 mm seat; the C/C0 ratio of 0.51 is characteristic of a needle bearing — high static rating relative to dynamic in a compact 150 mm outside diameter the fatigue load limit Cur is 48 kN, the limiting speed 3,700 r/min and the thermal reference speed 2,330 r/min; for small needle bearings the reference speed can exceed the kinematic limit, so the lower of the two governs the application dynamic capacity per millimetre of bore is 1.35 kN/mm and per millimetre of width 3.73 kN/mm — the reason 40 mm-wide needle bearings routinely replace much larger ball or roller positions mass is 2.07 kg (2070 g), just 0.34 g per mm² of projected 150×40 mm envelope, which keeps unbalanced forces low in fast-actuating linkages with a 110 mm bore this is a heavy-industrial bearing: 2.07 kg of stiff ring and roller set, specified where rigidity matters more than speed The inner ring is separable, so the outer-ring/roller assembly can be pressed into the housing first; the 290 kN C0 rating still assumes full rigid support under both rings The 20.0 mm section still holds a full needle pack; like all needle bearings it cannot tolerate angular misalignment, so shaft and housing axes must be parallel X-life status (-XL) indicates the current Schaeffler premium execution at 110 mm bore; the 290 kN C0 rating reflects the improved rolling-contact geometry. Typical applications include hydraulic and pneumatic pump eccentrics, copying and printing machine mechanisms and agricultural machine pivots and linkages, where the 150 mm outside diameter and 149 kN dynamic rating match the duty. In hydraulic and pneumatic pump eccentrics the unit fits a compact 110 mm seat, and in copying and printing machine mechanisms the 2.07 kg mass is part of the rotor inertia calculation. Designers also specify it for agricultural machine pivots and linkages, relying on the 40 mm width and the published 290 kN static rating. Without an inner ring the shaft is the raceway: 58–64 HRC and a ground, polished journal are mandatory, not recommendations. On reciprocating duty ensure the stroke rotates the full needle set, or brinelling occurs at the same roller positions.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- gearbox selector and change linkages
- two-stroke and compressor piston pins
- copying and printing machine mechanisms
- hydraulic and pneumatic pump eccentrics
Known failure patterns
- journal brinelling when a no-inner-ring bearing runs on a shaft hardened below 58 HRC or finished too rough
- needle skewing and jamming after momentary unloading of a flangeless (RNAO/NAO) pack
- raceway pitting from contamination drawn through the open ends of an unsealed bearing
- edge loading at the roller ends from a tapered or lobed shaft seat
- cage damage from shock loading or from pressing the bearing through the wrong ring
- lubricant starvation on fast reciprocating strokes that never fully rotate the needles
- false brinelling during stationary transport vibration
- spalling from excessive interference that removes the radial clearance
- roller wear from misaligned connecting-rod eyes and rocker bores
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Without an inner ring the shaft is the raceway: 58–64 HRC and a ground, polished journal are mandatory, not recommendations.
- On reciprocating duty ensure the stroke rotates the full needle set, or brinelling occurs at the same roller positions.
- Adding an IR inner ring changes the envelope logic: the same outer assembly then fits a smaller shaft — recheck bore, clearance and ratings when substituting.
Frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the NA4922-XL?
The NA4922-XL is a NA49 dimension-series 49 needle roller bearing with inner ring with 150 mm outside diameter, 110 mm bore and 40 mm width, envelope 110×150×40 mm. Mass is 2.07 kg.
What does the NA4922-XL designation mean in the FAG/INA HR1 catalogue?
NA4922-XL identifies this NA49 dimension-series 49 needle roller bearing with inner ring in the Schaeffler HR1 rolling bearings catalogue; the -XL suffix marks the X-life execution. The envelope is 110×150×40 mm and the catalogue ratings are C 149 kN, C0 290 kN, Cur 48 kN.
What is the load capacity of the NA4922-XL?
The basic dynamic load rating C is 149 kN and the basic static load rating C0 is 290 kN; the fatigue load limit Cur is 48 kN.
What is the maximum speed of the NA4922-XL?
The limiting speed is 3,700 r/min and the thermal reference speed is 2,330 r/min. In the Schaeffler catalogue the reference speed is the thermally permissible running speed under defined load; the lower of the two values governs each application.
How is the NA4922-XL mounted on the shaft?
The integral inner ring accepts an ordinary ground shaft at the 110 mm nominal bore with the recommended normal bearing-seat tolerance; no hardening is required. The ring is separable, so the outer assembly can be pressed into the housing first and the inner ring fitted with the shaft.
