Product Overview: The HK 1416 Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearing
The HK 1416 is a high-performance drawn cup needle roller bearing featuring a bore diameter of 14mm, an outer diameter of 20mm, and a width of 16mm. As a key component in our Drawn Cup Bearings range, it is designed with a thin-walled, drawn steel outer cup and a needle roller and cage assembly. This construction results in a very compact and lightweight bearing with a high load-carrying capacity. The open-end design is suitable for through-shaft applications and provides an economical solution for countless industrial and automotive scenarios.
Part of our extensive selection of Needle Roller Bearings, the HK 1416 is engineered for applications where radial space is limited but high radial load capacity is essential. It is intended to be press-fit into the housing, eliminating the need for snap rings or shoulders and simplifying the housing design. For optimal performance and service life, this bearing should be used with a hardened and ground shaft.
Key Features of the HK 1416 Bearing
- Compact and Lightweight: Features a low cross-sectional height, making it ideal for space-constrained applications.
- High Radial Load Capacity: The needle roller design provides a large contact area, enabling it to support heavy radial loads.
- Drawn Steel Outer Cup: The outer cup is precision-formed from steel, offering rigidity and a secure press-fit in the housing.
- Open-End Design: Allows a shaft to pass through the bearing, suitable for various mounting arrangements.
- Economical Solution: Offers excellent performance and load capacity at a lower cost compared to machined ring bearings.
- Simple Installation: Designed for a simple press-fit into the housing, which reduces assembly time and complexity.
