How the NK110-30 model number is decoded
NK 110/30 belongs to the machined-ring needle roller family: an outer ring turned and ground to 130 mm with two retaining flanges, a roller-and-cage set inside, and envelope 110×130×30 mm on a hardened 110 mm shaft. In SKF nomenclature NK families drop the inner ring: the numbers after the letters give the 110 mm under-roller diameter and the 30 mm width, with the 130 mm outside diameter set by the machined-ring needle roller bearings without inner ring plan. The wide NKS/NKIS siblings share the Fw and OD but add width for higher ratings — check both when the radial space allows a wider seat. Catalogue mass 650 g at 110×130×30 mm makes this one of the highest capacity-per-gram choices in the machined-ring needle roller bearings without inner ring; the limit is usually the shaft's ability to serve as a raceway, not the rolling contact itself. Fit the outer ring with a press and a fitting sleeve, not by hammering the flanges — rolled flanges chip; the 130 mm ground OD takes the press fit that prevents outer-ring creep in oscillating duty.
Typical equipment & failure modes
Common applications
- cam followers built up from separate components
- crank pins and eccentrics where the hardened journal is the raceway
- gearbox planetary and idler gears on hardened pins
- piston-pin style pivots in hydraulic pumps
Known failure patterns
- needle edge loading and raceway denting when the shaft deflects beyond the compensation range
- cage pocket wear and roller skew after sustained operation with too little radial preload
- abrasive paste formation from dust ingressing past open ends without effective housing seals
- false brinelling of standby equipment under external vibration
- smearing of rollers and journal during idle periods because the radial section holds too little lubricant
Selection pitfalls — read before you substitute
- Above 50 mm bore, thermal growth matters: the 110 mm inner ring or journal grows with temperature faster than the housing, and the small clearance of a needle roller contact leaves little reserve — check running clearance hot, not just at assembly.
- Reference and limiting speeds are different limits: the 3,600 r/min reference is the thermal criterion under load, The limiting value is mechanical; the reference value is thermal under load, and grease choice moves it substantially.
- Hardness is load capacity: in families without an inner ring the 110 mm journal must hold 58–64 HRC with a ground finish; a surface that looks fine but sits at 45 HRC will rib the raceway within weeks.
- The 96.8/220 kN ratings and 650 g mass are SKF catalogue values transcribed from ch. 7.3 of PUB BU/P1 17000 (PDF table page 636); combined-type axial ratings appear in the text above because the structured record carries radial values only.
Frequently asked questions
What does NK 110/30 mean in SKF part numbering?
NK names a machined-ring needle roller bearing without inner ring: the figures give Fw 110 mm and width 30 mm, OD 130 mm comes from the dimension series, and the flanged outer ring retains the caged rollers.
Does the NK 110/30 need a hardened and ground shaft?
No. In this execution the 110 mm shaft journal is the inner raceway: it must be ground and hardened to 58–64 HRC (with matching housing bore quality on the outside). If the shaft cannot meet that, order the inner-ring sibling (NKI/NA execution) plus its ground inner ring instead.
What mounting mistakes ruin a NK 110/30?
Press on the ring faces only with a fitting sleeve, keep everything square to the 110 mm seat, and never transmit force through the rolling elements. Follow the catalogue's seat tolerances — the narrow needle contact forgives neither tilt nor burrs.
Is the NK 110/30 sealed?
No — this execution is open and depends on the housing sealing arrangement; grease it at assembly and keep the relubrication interval short in dirty duty.
