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

The SKF range of needle roller bearings is extensive and, in addition to customized designs, it comprises the following types:

– Needle roller and cage assemblies (fig. 1).

– Drawn cup needle roller bearings with open ends (fig. 2) and with closed end (fig. 3).

– Needle roller bearings with and without flanges with (fig. 4) and without inner ring (fig. 5).

– Sealed needle roller bearings with (fig. 6) and without inner ring.

– Alignment needle roller bearings with (fig. 7) and without inner ring (fig. 8).
