DW4K explained

DW4K is NLHB's designation for the double-row standard aircraft control bearing — the most commonly sourced type. It belongs to the DW series (double-row standard), not a separate category. When you see "DW4K" in an RBC or competitor catalog, it maps to our Double-Row Standard series. DW4K2, DW4KX and similar suffixes are precision or variant grades within the same series.

RBC is a trademark of RBC Bearings Incorporated. References shown for compatibility only — not authorized or affiliated.
