Overview
NSK was the first company to manufacture bearings in Japan, and it is the brand most often found already fitted inside Japanese machinery, motors and vehicles. The range covers the same ground as SKF, with its own designation system.
Petrofab holds NSK in Doha across ball, cylindrical roller and spherical roller types, and quotes the rest of the NSK catalogue through its supplier base.
What we supply
Deep groove ball, angular contact, self aligning, cylindrical roller, spherical roller, taper roller, thrust and bearing units, with linear motion products, in metric and imperial sizes.

Reading an NSK number
NSK uses its own letters for seals and shields, which is the usual source of confusion when a bearing is cross referenced from another brand. These are the codes on the NSK bearings we hold.
| Code | What it means |
| ZZ | Steel shields on both sides. The NSK equivalent of SKF's 2Z |
| DDU | Contact rubber seals on both sides. The NSK equivalent of SKF's 2RS1 |
| VV | Non contact rubber seals on both sides, for less friction than DDU |
| C3 | Internal clearance greater than normal |
| EA, EAE4 | Optimised internal design in the spherical roller range, for a higher load rating |
| W | Cylindrical roller design code |
A bearing usually has an equivalent under another brand, and the letters are where the two differ. Send whichever number is in front of you and we will identify what fits.
Ordering
Send us the NSK number with the quantity. If the marking has worn off, send the bore, the outside diameter and the width, and tell us what it runs in and how hard it works. We will identify the equivalent and quote it. Quantities and delivery are confirmed on the quotation.
