The NTN NK+IR series is a radial needle roller bearing that pairs a machined outer ring with a separable inner ring. It fits applications where radial mounting space is tight but the bearing still has to carry a substantial load. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies this series to maintenance and purchasing teams throughout the United States and in several Latin American countries.
Reading the code helps you order the right assembly. The letters NK identify a needle roller bearing with a machined outer ring. The first number is the outer ring bore in millimeters, and the number after the slash is the width in millimeters. An RCT suffix means a stamped steel cage. The +IR portion, followed by three dimensions, describes the inner ring: inside diameter, outside diameter and width. Take NK14/16RCT+IR10×14×16: outer ring bore 14 mm, width 16 mm, inner ring 10×14×16 mm.
These bearings are common where radial room is limited and loads are moderate to high. Typical equipment includes gearboxes, pumps, compressors, textile machinery, packaging lines and power tools, as well as automotive components such as transmissions and steering systems. Depending on the configuration, the bearing can be mounted directly on the shaft or inside a housing.
Selection should account for radial load and operating speed. Internal clearance and lubrication matter: a proper film of oil or grease supports service life. Mounting requires precise alignment between shaft and housing. Because the inner and outer rings are separable, assembly is straightforward. If the shaft itself is hardened and ground, the inner ring can be omitted; using the IR simplifies maintenance work.
For equivalents, needle roller bearings from other manufacturers that follow the same dimensional nomenclature can be considered. Confirm bore, width and inner ring dimensions before substituting. MR Industrial Accessories LLC supplies leading brands and can help you evaluate interchangeability. If anything is unclear, send the complete code along with your housing dimensions.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the RCT suffix indicate in the NK+IR code?
- It identifies a stamped steel cage. The cage separates and guides the needles, which supports stable running at higher speeds. Many NTN needle roller bearings use this cage as standard.
- Is it possible to install the bearing without the inner ring?
- Yes. When the shaft is hardened and ground with suitable hardness and surface finish, only the outer ring with needles is needed. The inner ring is used when the shaft lacks the required hardness or when easier disassembly is preferred.
- How do I get a quote for a specific size?
- Send the full code, such as NK14/16RCT+IR10×14×16, or provide the bore, width and inner ring dimensions. MR Industrial Accessories LLC replies promptly by WhatsApp or email and can also suggest equivalents.
