Needle Roller Bearings with Thrust Ball Bearing

Needle Roller Bearings with Thrust Roller Bearing
Needle Roller Bearings with Angular Contact Ball Bearing

Combined Type Needle Roller Bearings are

combinations of a radial bearing and a thrust bearing.
Caged needle roller bearings are used as radial bearings and thrust ball bearings or thrust roller bearings
are used as thrust bearings. They are compact and
very economical, and can be subjected to radial loads
and axial loads simultaneously.
They are widely used for machine tools, textile
machinery, and industrial machinery.

Needle Roller Bearings with Thrust Ball

Bearing
In this series, needle roller bearings are combined
with thrust ball bearings to receive thrust loads.
In bearings with a dust cover, the dust cover is formed
from a thin steel plate and fixed to a groove cut on the
outer cylindrical surface of the outer ring collar. The
cover forms a labyrinth with the thrust raceway ring,
and is therefore effective in preventing leakage of
grease and penetration of dust and dirt.
In the case of bearings without an inner ring, the tolerances of roller set bore diameter Fw are shown in
Table 14 on page 36. Therefore, the required radial
internal clearances can be selected by combining the
bearings with shafts that have been heat-treated and
finished by grinding as shown in Table 23 on page 45
and Table 26 on page 47.

Needle Roller Bearings with Thrust Roller

Bearing
In this series, needle roller bearings are combined
with thrust roller bearings to receive thrust loads.
Their axial load ratings are greater than those of bearings that are combined with thrust ball bearings. Also,
elastic deformation of the rolling contact surfaces
under load is minimal. Furthermore, the thrust bearing section is finished to high accuracy, and therefore
high rotational accuracy is obtained in the case of
both vertical and horizontal shafts.
Like the needle roller bearings with thrust ball bearing,
this series also includes bearings with a dust cover
and bearings with an inner ring.

Identification Number

Table 2 Tolerances

The identification number of Combined Type Needle

Roller Bearings consists of a model code, dimensions, any supplemental codes and a classification
symbol. Some examples are shown below.

Type of
bearing

Needle Roller Bearings with Three-point

Contact Ball Bearing
These bearings can withstand heavy radial loads and
bi-directional axial loads at the same time during highspeed rotation.
Since the non-interchangeable inner rings are separated at the center of the ball raceway surface, they
must be firmly tightened against the shaft in the axial
direction. The axial clearance of this bearing is 0.1
0.3 mm, and like NATA59, the axial load should not
exceed 25% of the radial load.

Assembled bearing width

In this series, caged needle roller bearings are combined with angular contact ball bearings to receive
thrust loads. These bearings conform to the international dimension series #59, which is based on the
ISO Standard. They can withstand heavy radial loads
and unidirectional axial loads simultaneously.
When the axial load exceeds 25% of the radial load,
the radial load will be induced in the angular contact
ball bearing, and bearing life will be affected. The
relationship between the two loads must therefore be
taken into careful consideration.

Notes(1) The housing bore for the thrust bearing must be

machined to be more than 0.5 mm larger than the outside diameters D1 and D2 to ensure that it does not
incur radial loads.
(2) If the fit is made tighter than specified in this table, radial
loads will act upon the thrust bearing, limiting its function.

Lubrication

Fig.1 Mounting examples

Grease is not prepacked in Combined Type Needle

Roller Bearings, so perform proper lubrication for use.
Operating without lubrication will increase the wear of
the rolling contact surfaces and shorten the bearing
life.

Oil Hole
The outer ring of Combined Type Needle Roller
Bearings has an oil groove and an oil hole. When
outer rings with multiple oil holes or inner rings with oil
hole(s) are required, please contact
.

286

Fig.1 shows mounting examples of Combined Type

Needle Roller Bearings. When applying preload to the
NAX and NBX models, it is recommended that thrust
raceway rings are not tightened directly with nuts, but
are tightened using springs as shown in Fig. 2.
Mounting two NATA models symmetrically allows
them to be subjected to two-way axial loads. When
mounting these models, an axial clearance of 0.2
0.3 mm should be provided in the angular contact ball
bearings so that radial loads are not applied to the
angular contact ball bearings.
Dimensions related to mounting should be based on
the table of dimensions.

Dimensional accuracy and rotational accuracy of

Combined Type Needle Roller Bearings are based on
Table 2 below and Tables 12 and 13 on page 34.
Thickness variations of thrust rings of NAX(I) and

is made for a transition fit with k5 tolerance shaft.

Accuracy

In Combined Type Needle Roller Bearings, caged

needle roller bearings are subjected to radial loads
while thrust bearings receive axial loads. Therefore, it
is necessary to calculate their lives respectively (page
20).

Minimum allowable value of chamfer dimension r or r 1

Allowable rotational speed applies to oil lubrication. For grease lubrication, a maximum of 70% of this value is allowable in the
NAXI series, and a maximum of 25% of this value is allowable in the NBXI series.
Remarks1. The outer ring has an oil groove and an oil hole.
Remarks2. Grease is not prepacked. Perform proper lubrication.
