NTN-SNR machine tool bearings - precision, strength and high speed

From metal cutting to high-speed grinding, machine tools have always been the most important tool in most manufacturing processes. When the demands of manufacturing processes require tight tolerances, high precision and time-saving machining, the company's high precision bearings today cover the most demanding market segments in bearing technology. NTN's high precision bearings are successfully used in a wide range of industries, including medical, high-speed woodworking, automotive and heavy machinery, where maximum precision and system performance are required. These bearings are also successfully used in the process lines of our own factories, whose machines perform a variety of operations and tasks, from metal cutting to grinding and polishing.

For applications requiring higher speeds, NTN offers angular contact ball bearings with ceramic balls. The special properties of these bearings enable an increase in speed without overheating, as well as an increase in the rigidity of the bearing unit and a longer service life. SNR's high precision and high performance bearings are manufactured using precision machining and the latest measuring technology. The company also offers a wide range of ball screw support bearings, high speed double row angular contact ball bearings and cylindrical roller bearings, as well as high precision locknuts.

NTN-SNR Group's general specifications for high precision bearings for machine tools include:

  • Universal or customised bearing pairs
  • Rings and balls made of high quality 100 Cr bearing steel
  • Bearings with contact angles of 15°, 17° and 25° (SNR range)
  • Bearings with contact angles of 15°, 25°, 30°, 40° and 60° (NTN range)
  • Four preload levels
  • High precision angular contact ball bearings with seals
  • Phenolic resin multi-layer cages, centred on the inner ring (SNR standard)
  • Nylon cages (NTN standard)
  • Machined brass cages (NTN standard for high precision cylindrical roller bearings)

High precision standard bearings in the MACHLINE® range 

71900V and 7000V series: the perfect compromise between performance and speed, rigidity, running accuracy and load capacity

7200G1 series:

  • Specially designed for applications with predominantly high axial forces
  • Design variants depending on the contact angle: C for 15°, H for 25°
  • Design variants according to preload: light, medium, high

Hybrid versions (with ceramic balls) available on request

High speed bearings type ML of the MACHLINE series 

Designed for the most demanding high-speed applications. Up to 30% higher permissible speed due to:

  • Optimised internal geometry
  • Reduced ball diameter
  • Increased number of balls 
  • Optimised centring of the cage on the outer ring

Hybrid versions (with ceramic balls) available on request.

Sealed bearings
Sealed bearings
MACHLINE bearings with MLE seals 

Nitrile seals with outer ring protection, no contact with the inner ring, achieve the same speeds as open bearings, factory lubricated.
