Austrian bearing manufacturer NKE Austria has introduced a range of single row deep groove ball bearings called NKE POP, which offers numerous technical advantages, such as reduced running noise, longer lubricant service life, a low starting torque and outstanding cost effectiveness. The low running noise is achieved through the use of a new type of lubricant, which also minimises the bearing’s starting torque even at low operating temperatures.
The bearings feature a pair of newly developed double-lipped labyrinth seals, which provide better protection from contamination and improve grease retention in spite of the low friction. The bearing raceways have an enhanced surface finish, which reduces wear and keeps the operating temperature low. Their high-grade balls ensure smooth running and reduced noise compared to conventional deep groove ball bearings.
The new POP range of single row deep groove ball bearings is available from stock in the size ranges 6000 to 6012, 6200 to 6212 and 6300 to 6310 (with bore diameters from 10 mm to 60 mm or 50 mm), in open version, 2RS2 version (sealed with two synthetic rubber seals) and 2Z version (sealed with two steel shields) and with clearances CN (standard) and C3. Other versions and sizes are available on request.
