SMALL END 18x22x23.5 SILVER, NAMURA 09-B022-1 BEARING

Namura Small End Bearing 18x22x23.5mm Silver

This is a top-quality small end needle-cage bearing designed for the piston end of the connecting rod. It is a crucial component for transmitting the forces generated by the piston to the rotating assembly.

Namura bearings are manufactured from SCM415 Chromoly Steel. They undergo a carbonitriding process which enhances the fatigue strength and heat-dissipating capacity of the cage. The robust bearing structure is built to withstand significant stress levels caused by varying and high RPMs, as well as the impact of an engine's stroke.

A key feature of these Namura bearing assemblies is the silver-coated cage. The cage is electroplated first with copper, followed by a silver coating. This dual coating provides superior resistance to erosive materials encountered in engine operation. Additionally, this coating reduces friction between the cage and the needle bearings, contributing to a longer assembly life and increased reliability.

Key Features:

• Dimensions: 18mm x 22mm x 23.5mm
• Material: SCM415 Chromoly Steel
• Treatment: Carbonitriding for enhanced strength and heat dissipation
• Cage Coating: Copper and Silver electroplating for wear resistance and reduced friction
• Designed for high-stress engine environments
• Recommended replacement anytime a piston is replaced
