Product catalog summary
Introduction to X-life Bearings
X-life bearings, a premium offering from INA and FAG under the Schaeffler Group, are designed for enhanced quality and operational security. They are suitable for automotive, machine building, and precision engineering applications, providing high cost-effectiveness and reliability.
Advantages of X-life Bearings
X-life bearings feature improved surface quality, reducing friction and bearing temperatures. This enhancement increases the basic dynamic load ratings by approximately 13% and extends the basic rating life by over 50%, allowing for higher loads or longer operating life under the same conditions.
Types of Needle Roller Bearings
  • Needle Roller Bearings with Ribs: Self-retaining units suitable for limited radial design envelopes, available with or without an inner ring.
  • Needle Roller Bearings without Ribs: Non-self-retaining, allowing independent fitting of components, available in single and double row versions.
  • Aligning Needle Roller Bearings: Compensate for static misalignment up to 3° but not suitable for swivel motions.
  • Combined Needle Roller Bearings: Include an axial component for supporting loads, used as semi-locating or locating bearings.
Design and Safety Guidelines
Critical shaft and housing tolerances are necessary for bearings with an inner ring. Bearings without an inner ring require a hardened and ground shaft raceway. A minimum radial load is essential to prevent slippage, especially at high speeds.
Operating Conditions
Unsealed bearings operate between -20°C to +120°C, while sealed bearings are limited to +100°C due to grease and seal material constraints. Bearings are available with steel or plastic cages, with specific suffixes indicating design features.
Accuracy and Clearance
Dimensional tolerances adhere to DIN 620 standards. Radial internal clearance varies by bore size, with specific values provided for CN and C3 clearances.
Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for needle roller bearings, including dimensions, load ratings, speed limits, and design considerations. Bearings are categorized by series, such as NKI, NA49, NA69, and NKIS, with specific details for each type.
Procedures
Axial guidance of needle roller and cage assemblies requires precision-machined, wear-resistant surfaces. Radial location is achieved through a close fit on the shaft and housing, while axial location requires physical locking to prevent lateral creep.
Standards and Norms
The document references DIN standards for chamfer dimensions and tolerance classes. Radial internal clearance follows DIN 620-4, and the enveloping circle diameter is crucial for bearings without an inner ring.
Recommendations
Bearings should be lubricated with grease or oil, and a minimum radial load is necessary to prevent slippage. Aligning needle roller bearings can compensate for static misalignments up to 3° but should not support swivel or wobble motions.
Data Summary
The document includes extensive tables detailing dimensions, load ratings, and speed limits for various bearing models. For example, the RNAO5X10X8-TN-XL model has a dynamic load rating of 2.65 kN and a limiting speed of 37,000 min-1.
Design and Safety Guidelines
Guidelines cover the design of bearing arrangements, including shaft and housing tolerances, support of axial forces, and axial static load safety factors. The document emphasizes the importance of proper axial and radial location to prevent lateral creep and ensure operational safety.
Conclusion
X-life needle roller bearings offer significant improvements in performance and cost-effectiveness, making them suitable for a wide range of applications with enhanced reliability and operational security.

Aligning needle roller bearings are units comprising drawn outer cups, plastic support rings with a concave inner profile, outer rings with a spherical outside surface, needle roller and cage assemblies and removable inner rings.The bearings can compensate static misalignments and can thus tolerate misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing; see Compensation of misalignmentӔ, page39.Aligning needle roller bearings are firmly seated in the housing bore. The bore can therefore be produced easily and economically. > Aligning needle roller bearings without ribs are unsealed and are not supplied...
