NSK launches J-Line – a new range of JIS standard bearing units

NSK is expanding its existing RHP branded  Self-Lube® range of bearing units to include products made to the JIS standard. With this new J-Line series, NSK also introduces a new packaging design.

The J-Line bearing units comprise six of the most popular housing types: pillow block with/without feet, square and round flange, two-hole flange, and take-up unit. Also available are three pressed-steel housings and five inserts (wide and narrow set screw, wide and narrow lock collar, and adaptor sleeve) covering bore diameters that range from 12 to 90mm. The units are built on demand, offering the highest flexibility for customers.

J-Line bearing units will be easily identifiable in their new, fresh NSK packaging design for the European market.

Ready to ship from April 2019, J-Line bearing units are suitable for use in sectors that include agriculture, cement, construction, food, material handling, packaging, paper, steel, textiles and many others.

To help simplify selection, NSK has published a new Bearing Unit Catalogue containing both J-Line and Self-Lube ranges. An electronic version will be placed on the NSK website ready for download.
