How do I identify my NSK Bearings?
The designation for the NSK bearing bore indicates the bearing’s bore size. A two-digit number is used for bore sizes from 20mm to 480mm. This number is multiplied by five to give the bore size. For example, the code 6318 stands for a deep groove ball bearing with a bore size of 90 mm.
Is NSK an OEM?
After some research I discovered that NSK is the manufacturer of OEM wheel bearings for most Honda vehicles. This is the same exact bearing that you get if you buy one at a Honda dealership.
What is a bearing PDF?
A bearing is a machine element which supports another moving machine element (known as journal). It permits a relative motion between the contact surfaces of the members, while carrying the load.
How can you tell if NSK Bearings are fake?
To begin, check the markings. An absence of markings is an obvious sign that the bearings are fake. If markings are present, are they similar to standard manufacturer markings, or are they located on different areas of the bearing to normal? Both can point to illegal manufacture.
How many types of ball bearings are there?
Radial ball bearings
| Deep groove ball bearings | Angular contact ball bearings | Duplex angular contact ball bearings |
|---|---|---|
| Four-point contact ball bearings | Double-row angular contact ball bearings | Self-aligning ball bearings |
| Ball bearings for rolling bearing units |
Which ball bearings are the best?
(2) Ceramic or Steel Balls The advantage of using a hybrid ceramic ball bearing (fig. 3) is that it runs cooler and extends bearing life. Ceramic balls are harder, smoother, lighter, and more wear resistant than stainless steel.
What bearings are available from NSK?
Diameter Series 7 (extra thin section bearings) are also available, please contact NSK. 2. When using bearings with rotating outer rings, contact NSK if they are sealed, shielded, or have snap rings. 3.

Can single row ball bearings be used as thrust bearings?
Single-row deep groove ball bearings are sometimes used as thrust bearings. In such applications, the contact angle should be as large as possible. The contact angle for ball bearings is determined by the geometric relationship between the radial clearance and radii of the inner and outer grooves.
