Needle roller bearings

Needle Roller Bearings are mechanical component used in a variety of industrial applications. They feature long, thin cylindrical rollers, called needles, which enable them to support high radial loads, while minimizing friction with other parts.

At Rubix, we offer a complete range of needle Roller Bearings from leading brands such as INA, FAG, SKF and NTN. Find out more about our products and advice.

Features of Needle Roller Bearings

Needle Roller components can support high radial loads, thanks to their reduced cross-sectional thickness. This makes them ideal where space is limited, but high performance is required. Cylindrical rollers have a wider contact surface than other Bearings. They offer better load distribution and reduced deformation over time.

What applications for Needle Roller Bearings?

Needle roller components are used in automatic transmission machines, compressors, gears and electric motors. Their ability to operate at high rotational speeds while supporting high radial loads makes them a preferred choice in industrial sectors.

Types of Needle Roller Bearings

There are different types of Needle Roller Bearings. These include needle roller and cage assemblies, needle roller bushings, self-aligning needle roller Bearings and combined Needle Roller Bearings.

Why use Needle Roller Bearings?

Needle Roller Bearings offer many advantages:

Performance

Needle Roller systems are renowned for their high load carrying capacity, despite their thin cross-sections. They are ideal for low- to medium-speed applications. These Bearings support high loads without compromising machine performance.

Versatility

Needle Roller components are used to equip a variety of parts, such as shafts, pulleys, springs and transmission systems. They are ideally suited to high-speed equipment. Combination Bearings, which integrate radial and axial elements, are suitable for more complex applications.

Strength

Made from high-quality steel, needle roller components from brands such as INA, SKF and NTN combine durability and performance. The steel used in these Bearings is selected for its resistance to wear and deformation, and its durability. What's more, some Bearings are sealed, offering enhanced protection against contaminants.

How do to maintain Needle Roller Bearings

Proper lubrication is essential to ensure the longevity and smooth operation of your components. Bearings must be cleaned, dried and then lubricated with suitable products to ensure long life.
