Needle roller bearings
needle roller bearing is a special type of roller bearing which uses long, thin cylindrical rollers resembling needles. Ordinary roller bearings’ rollers are only slightly longer than their diameter, but needle bearings typically have rollers that are at least four times longer than their diameter.[1] Like all bearings, they are used to reduce the friction of a rotating surface. Compared to ball bearings and ordinary roller bearings, needle bearings have a greater surface area in contact with the races, so they can support a greater load. They are also thinner, so they require less clearance between the axle and the surrounding structure. Needle bearings are heavily used in automobile components such as rocker arm pivots, pumps, compressors,and transmissions.
BOFA supplies needle roller bearings in many different designs, series and in a wide range of sizes, which make them appropriate for a wide variety of operating conditions and applications.
