Needle roller bearings are roller bearings with slender cylindrical rollers. These bearings are designed for applications where radial space is limited but high radial load carrying capacity is required.
Needle roller bearings have numerous types available and many have no inner rings. The 'drawn-cup' type has a pressed steel cage outer ring while the 'solid' type has a machined outer ring. There are also cage and roller assemblies without rings.
UBC's needle roller bearings designs include:
- Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearings
- Solid Cup Needle Roller Bearings
- Cage and Needle Roller Assemblies
- Inner rings for Needle Roller Bearings
- Cam and Roller Followers
- Needle Rollers
- Needle Roller Thrust Bearings
- Combined Needle Roller Bearings
UBC's needle roller bearings are largely suitable for automotive transmissions, air-conditioner compressors, bulldozer blades, overhead traveling cranes, gearboxes, machine tool spindles, copying machines and many more.
