Needle roller bearings

Needle roller bearings are rolling bearings with a low radial section height and high load carrying capacity, which are used as non-locating bearings and are part of the group of radial needle roller bearings. These bearings comprise machined outer rings, needle roller and cage assemblies and removable inner rings, i.e. they can be supplied with or without an inner ring in accordance with the application. In contrast to the outer cups of drawn cup needle roller bearings, which are produced by forming methods, the bearing rings are machined. Due to their non-locating bearing function, the bearings cannot guide the shaft axially in any direction.
