Needle bearing

Needle roller bearing is a roller bearing with cylindrical roller. The roller is thin and long relative to its diameter. This roller is called a needle roller. Although it has a small cross-section, the bearing still has a high load bearing capacity. The needle roller bearing is equipped with thin and long rollers (roller diameter D ≤ 5mm, L / D ≥ 2.5, l is the roller length). Therefore, the radial structure is compact. When its inner diameter dimension and load capacity are the same as those of other types of bearings, the outer diameter is the smallest, which is especially suitable for the bearing results with limited radial installation size. According to different applications, the bearing without inner ring or needle roller and cage assembly can be selected. At this time, the journal surface and shell hole surface matched with the bearing are directly used as the inner and outer rolling surfaces of the bearing. In order to ensure that the load capacity and operating performance are the same as those of the bearing with ferrule, the hardness, machining accuracy and surface quality of the raceway surface of the shaft or outer shell hole should be similar to that of the raceway of the bearing ferrule. This bearing can only bear radial load.
