NKX10 -Z-TVP NKE needle roller bearing

NKE NKX10-Z-TVP Combined Needle Roller Bearing (With Cover & Polyamide Cage)

The NKE NKX10-Z-TVP is a high-specialty hybrid rolling unit designed to simultaneously accommodate radial loads and axial loads acting in a single direction. The design integrates a high-capacity radial needle roller assembly with a thrust ball bearing. The use of a modern TVP cage (glass-fiber reinforced polyamide) ensures quieter operation, lower weight, and superior sliding properties. The -Z cover permanently joins the thrust section components, protecting the balls from contaminants and ensuring better grease retention.

Application

• Precision Machine Tools: Bearing support for small drive shafts and auxiliary spindles.
• Automation & Robotics: Compact rotation axes and miniature joints requiring axial stabilization.
• Pneumatic & Power Tools: Stable rotor support in high-speed micro-grinders.
• Packaging Machinery: Cam mechanisms and positioning drives in precision production lines.
• Medical Equipment: Diagnostic device drives requiring low noise and vibration levels.

Technical Specification

• Manufacturer: NKE Bearings (Austria).
• Designation: NKX10-Z-TVP.
• Dimensions: 10 mm (ID) × 19 mm (OD) × 23 mm (Total Width).
• Type: Combined bearing (needle roller + thrust ball).
• Cage (TVP): Glass-fiber reinforced polyamide (lightweight & quiet).
• Cover (-Z): Sheet metal cap on the thrust section (non-separable).

Features and Benefits

• Integrated Design: Accommodates forces from two directions, eliminating the need for separate bearings and shortening the bearing arrangement.
• Optimized TVP Cage: Polyamide ensures lower friction and better performance under boundary lubrication.
• Operational Security (-Z): The protective cover shields against dust and prevents the bearing from separating during installation.
• Extreme Compactness: A 19 mm outer diameter allows for the design of very slender mechanisms.
• Austrian Precision: NKE production guarantees running accuracy and a long fatigue life.

Why Choose This Product

By choosing the NKE NKX10-Z-TVP, you are investing in European technology that optimizes space within your machinery. By combining a lightweight polyamide cage with a protective steel cover, you receive a component that runs smoother and is easier to maintain than standard solutions. It is the most cost-effective choice for engineers seeking uncompromising precision in a miniature format.
