Description
SKF K 6X9X10 TN belongs to radial needle roller cage, part of our Bearings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for K 6X9X10 TN and any equivalents.
The SKF K TN series consists of needle roller cages that hold and guide the needles without inner or outer rings. They let you create a needle roller bearing directly between the shaft and the housing, so the assembly stays compact while handling significant radial loads. When radial space is tight and you still need stiffness and accuracy, this type of cage is often the answer.
The part number follows a simple pattern: three dimensions separated by an X, in the order bore, outside diameter, width. Take K 10X13X10 TN — it has a 10 mm bore, a 13 mm outside diameter and a 10 mm width. The TN suffix tells you the cage is made of injected polyamide, which works well at moderate temperatures and slides smoothly. Similar sizes in the series include K 3X5X7 TN and K 10X16X12 TN, among others.
You will find these cages in machine tools, pumps, compressors, electric motors, transmissions and automation systems. Maintenance teams also use them in agricultural, textile, food and packaging equipment where a low-profile needle roller bearing is needed. Gearboxes, camshafts and linkages that must carry high loads in minimal space are other typical locations.
When choosing a K TN cage, make sure the shaft and housing can serve as raceways — they need the right hardness and surface finish. Lubrication should be clean and plentiful; if oil is used, confirm that it actually reaches the needles. Shaft-to-housing alignment matters a lot, because misalignment shortens service life. Radial clearance comes from the shaft and housing tolerances, not from the cage itself.
SKF K TN series cages can be replaced by equivalent components from other makers that use the same dimensional designation. During replacement, check the cage type and material as well as the dimensions. SKF is one of the brands MR supplies, so you can ask about other options in the same series. Always confirm the full part number before ordering.
To identify the right cage for your equipment, send the part number stamped on the component or the shaft and housing dimensions via WhatsApp. At MR Industrial Accessories, we help you find the correct SKF component for your application.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the TN suffix indicate in a K cage?
- TN means the cage is made of injected polyamide. This material resists wear well and has a low friction coefficient, but it has temperature limits. Check your operating temperature to be sure it will perform as needed.
- Is it possible to mount a K cage directly on the shaft?
- Yes, provided the shaft is ground, has adequate surface hardness and a fine finish. The shaft acts as the inner raceway, and the housing acts as the outer raceway. If these conditions are not met, service life drops sharply.
- How can I request an SKF K TN series needle roller cage from MR?
- Send the complete part number by WhatsApp, such as K 10X13X10 TN, or give us the bore, outside and width dimensions. You can also ask about other sizes in the series. We will get back to you shortly with a quote.
