Needle Bearings

Needle Bearings, a specialized subcategory within Bearings in the Power Transmission category, feature small diameter cylindrical rollers that provide a high load capacity relative to their size. These bearings are distinguished by their long rollers, which have a length at least four times their diameter, allowing them to handle high radial loads while occupying minimal space. Needle Bearings are particularly advantageous in applications where space is limited but high load capacity is required. They are commonly used in automotive components like rocker arm pivots, transmissions, and drive shafts, as well as in the aerospace industry and in various machinery where compact bearing arrangements are essential. Their ability to fit into tight spaces while still providing excellent load-bearing capabilities makes them a critical component in many high-performance applications.
