WHAT ARE NEEDLE ROLLER BEARINGS?
Needle roller bearings are a special style of bearing that feature cylindrical rollers with small diameters that offer a higher load-carrying capacity. Furthermore, they also can withstand oscillation with greater rigidity than other options.
There are a few styles of needle roller bearing you can choose from. Options can include single row, double row, solid, or split cage. Other needle bearing roller specifications include:
• Metric or inch series
• Open or closed end
• Open, single seal (U) or double sealed design (UU)
• Relubrication holes are available on larger sizes (above 10 mm bore)
• Full complement of rollers
• Special internal clearance and special heat treatments
• A limited range is offered in AISI 440C Stainless Steel
