What is a needle roller bearing?

Needle roller bearings are a unique type of roller bearing that uses long, thin cylindrical rollers resembling needles. They are typically at least four times longer in diameter compared to standard roller bearings.

Compared to standard ball bearings, needle roller bearings have a greater surface area in contact with the races to support a greater load and optimise the performance of the machine or engine they operate within. They are thinner and require less clearance between the axle and the surrounding structure.

Needle roller bearings are used extensively in automobile components as well as other technologies, such as:

Rocker arm pivots
Pumps
Compressors
Universal joints
Gearboxes
Compressors
Transmissions
Drive shafts and more

Our comprehensive needle roller bearings are used across South East Queensland and Australia-wide and have a reputation for reliability and longevity.

Different types of needle roller bearings

While all needle roller bearings have similar construction, there are various types of needle roller bearing for different applications.

Caged needle roller bearings

Cage needle bearings consist of cylindrical needle rollers assembled into a cage or retainer made of either steel or moulded plastics, including nylon, acetal or other engineered plastics.

Drawn cup needle roller bearings

Drawn cup needle roller bearings have a deep drawn, thin-walled outer ring. They are typically used when the housing bore cannot act as a needle roller and cage raceway and requires a very compact and economical bearing arrangement.

Precision race needle roller bearings

Precision needle roller bearings are typically used in applications where a high load capacity is required, such as in heavy equipment.

A precision needle roller bearing has a one-piece, channel-shaped outer race of bearing quality steel, which has been heat-treated to provide maximum bearing capacity and life expectancy. In addition, a precision needle roller bearing assures optimum roller load distribution within the bearing construction.

Thrust needle roller bearings

Thrust needle roller bearings are compact and offer large load capacity and high limiting speed.

The two-piece enclosure consists of precision-pressed steel that guides the rollers accurately. The spherical outer ring and needle roller thrust bearing have tapered slots allowing high operating speeds.
