The NTN KV series needle cage is a precision component that holds and guides the rollers in a needle roller bearing, keeping them evenly spaced and aligned. It suits arrangements where radial space is tight and load capacity matters. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this series in standard sizes for machinery maintenance and repair. Send the part number on WhatsApp or by email and our team will get back to you promptly with a quote.
Reading the code: KV identifies a single-row needle cage. The numbers after it, separated by the × sign, give the main dimensions in millimeters: bore, outside diameter and cage width. Take KV12×17×17.8XS: bore 12 mm, outside diameter 17 mm, width 17.8 mm. The XS suffix marks a design variant within the series.
Typical uses include automotive, machine tools, transmission equipment and agricultural machinery. Gearboxes, pumps, compressors and roller systems often rely on these cages where a high load-to-space ratio is needed. The design supports compact, robust assemblies.
When selecting a cage, check the shaft and housing dimensions along with the load and operating speed. Correct lubrication and alignment during mounting help avoid premature wear. The cage should fit without excessive play and with the clearance the manufacturer recommends.
NTN KV series cages interchange with other brands that follow the same standard dimensions. When replacing a cage, compare dimensions and the suffix type. If a part number from another brand does not match, we can identify the equivalent from the dimensions.
