SKF HK 1816 18 mm ID Roller Bearing Needle, 24 mm OD

Let the good times roll with this needle-type roller bearing from SKF. If your system needs to cope with demanding loads, this is the unit for the job. It's heat-stabilised up to +140°C to ensure it won't break a sweat at high temperatures. A dynamic load rating of 11.2kN and a static load rating of 17.6kN mean it can effortlessly support heavy loads. The rollers between the inner and outer races allow the unit to slide smoothly over an attached shaft, helping to reduce friction. As it's made from steel, this is a durable and long-lasting choice that resists wear and corrosion.

• Limiting speed of 15,000rpm for use with fast-paced applications

• Electric motors

Roller bearings have cylindrical rollers, while ball bearings have cylindrical rolling parts between the races. As roller bearings achieve a larger contact surface with the shaft, they're more rigid and have a higher load capacity than ball bearings.
