Did you know NSK’s housed bearing unit, RHP Self-Lube, is the market-leading mounted unit?  Renowned for its superior design, high-quality materials and robust performance, the product comprises two basic components: the insert and the housing. Each unit comprises a sealed, single-row ball bearing with a spherical outside diameter and extended inner ring mounted in a pillow block or flanged housing.  RHP Self-Lube is a market-leading product for a reason. Its spherical seating allows for initial misalignment on mounting; it comes with a Super Finished Raceway for quiet and efficient running, and we use hardened, high-quality steel for the inner and outer rings. It is available with single or triple-lip seals, or with flingers, and relubrication capability comes as standard (although Moulded-Oil options don’t need relubricating at all). As with all core NSK-RHP products, we hold many RHP Self-Lube units in stock; all stocked items are ready for same-day despatch anywhere in the world. #rhp #nsk #selflube #acornindustrial

Yes a market leader, its one of those situations where the trade name has become the description of the product, read Hoover for Vacuum cleaner When I moved from distribution to a bearing manufacturer I caught myself several times using the Self Lube descriptor for our own ball bearing insert range by mistake, oops ! Still never been sure where self lube fits into it though, perhaps someone could explain the history there.
