Needle Roller Bearings

Needle roller bearings have relatively smaller diameter cylindrical rolling elements whose length is much larger than their diameter.

Compared with other types of rolling bearings, needle roller bearings have a small cross-sectional height and significant load-bearing capacity and rigidity relative to their volume.

Also, because the inertial force action on them is limited, they are ideal choice for oscillating motion. Needle roller bearings contribute to compact and lightweight machine designs. They serve also as a ready replacement for sliding bearings.
