NSKHPS bearing range expanded

NSK has expanded its NSKHPS series of high performance standard bearings in line with demand for reduced maintenance costs and more compact industrial machinery. NSK claims its NSKHPS bearings are able to extend service life, and increase the limiting speed by up to 20%.

Deep groove ball bearings, cylindrical roller bearings, high precision angular contact ball bearings and ball screw support angular contact thrust ball bearings have all been added to the series. Around 30,000 NSKHPS product variants are offered in total, giving machine builders an unprecedented choice for virtually any kind of modern machinery application.

In terms of service life, NSKHPS cylindrical roller bearings are said to offer a 60% higher life span than conventional bearings at basic load ratings, while deep groove ball bearings, high precision angular contact ball bearings and ball screw support angular contact thrust ball bearings are said to provide 15% longer life.

The NSKHPS series are claimed to give high accuracy universal matching, optimum surface finishing, temperature stability and low maintenance requirements.
