Needle roller bearings are roller bearings with cylindrical rollers that are long and thin in relation to their diameter. In spite of their low cross section, needle roller bearings have a high load carrying capacity and are therefore extremely suitable for bearing arrangements where radial space is limited.

SKF needle roller bearings are available in different designs and a wide range of sizes, which are appropriate for different applications. In addition to customized designs, they comprise the following types:

– needle roller and cage assemblies

– drawn cup needle roller bearings

with open ends and with closed end full complement, with open ends

– needle roller bearings with machined rings with and without flanges with and without an inner ring with seals, with and without an inner ring

– alignment needle roller bearings

with and without an inner ring

– inner rings for needle roller bearings

– universal joint bearings

– combined needle roller bearings (separate section) needle roller/angular contact ball bearings needle roller/thrust ball bearings needle roller/cylindrical roller thrust bearings

– needle roller thrust bearings (separate section) needle roller and cage thrust assemblies needle roller thrust bearings with a centring spigot
