Overview

What it is

The needle roller bearing is a variation of the cylindrical roller bearing. The main difference is in the roller design: the rollers are more numerous and thinner in diameter than usual. Full complement needle roller bearings have no cage, so one roller pushes against the next to hold everything in place. Despite their low cross-section, they offer high radial load capacity, making them well suited to applications with limited radial space.
