When radial space is tight but radial loads are high, the NSK FC series needle roller bearing is a compact solution. Its small cross-section allows it to fit where standard ball or roller bearings cannot, making it suitable for gearboxes, pumps, compressors, and machine tools. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series and assists with selecting the correct size for your application.
The FC series code consists of 'FC' followed by a number that denotes the size within the series. Examples include FC-6, FC-8, FC-10, FC-12, FC-16, FC-20, FC-25, and FC-30. This number is not a measurement of diameter or width; it is simply a size reference. To identify the right bearing, provide the complete code or the shaft and housing dimensions.
These bearings are found in automotive, metalworking, food processing, and textile industries. They are commonly used in gearboxes, water pumps, air compressors, industrial sewing machines, and transmission equipment. Their low profile helps reduce assembly size while maintaining radial load capacity, which is advantageous in compact designs.
Selection depends on shaft diameter, outer diameter, and available width. Consider the operating environment: if dust or moisture is present, a sealed version or a radial shaft seal may be necessary. Needle roller bearings are sensitive to misalignment, so ensure accurate alignment between shaft and housing. During installation, use appropriate tools and avoid direct impacts on the needles.
When replacing a bearing from another manufacturer, compare dimensions and load type. Interchangeability is feasible if inner diameter, outer diameter, and width match, but always verify load capacity and sealing method. With the original code or dimensions, MR Industrial Accessories can quote the NSK equivalent that fits your needs.
To request a quote, send the bearing code (e.g., FC-12) or your shaft and housing dimensions via WhatsApp or email. MR Industrial Accessories will provide the NSK FC series reference you need and offer guidance on mounting and lubrication.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the FC designation mean in NSK bearings?
- FC indicates a series of needle roller bearings with a reduced cross-section. The following number represents the size within the series, not a specific diameter. To determine the exact size, provide the full code or your application dimensions.
- How do I choose the right FC needle roller bearing?
- You need the shaft diameter, outer diameter, and available width. Also consider radial load, speed, and environmental conditions. With this information, we can identify the FC reference for your equipment.
- Can I replace a bearing from another brand with an NSK FC series bearing?
- Yes, if the primary dimensions and load type match. Interchangeability is possible when inner diameter, outer diameter, and width are identical. Send us the original code and we will quote the NSK equivalent.
