Needle Rollers: Compact Design Meets Heavy Duty Strength
Needle rollers utilize needle-shaped cylindrical elements as their rolling components. In bearing technology, these elements are classified as needle rollers when their diameter is ≤ 6 mm and the ratio of diameter to length is less than 1:3. The compact size of these rollers results in a reduced radial cross-section, making them well-suited for applications with limited space. The line contact between the rollers and raceways ensures they can support high radial loads while offering enhanced rigidity. Recognized among leading Needle roller manufacturers, SKP Bearing Industries Ltd. stands for precision, quality, and customizable options.
Type BP (FLATE UNGROUND ENDS) : D(MM) : 1 to 7 mm | L(MM) : 3 to 100 mm
Type BR (ROUNDED ENDS) : D(MM) : 1.5 to 7 mm | L(MM) : 5 to 50 mm
Type BPM (FLATE GROUND ENDS) : D(MM) : 2.5 to 10 mm | L(MM) : 4 to 50 mm
Benefits in Industrial Applications
High Load Capacity:Â Needle rollers can support heavy loads relative to their size, making them ideal for space-constrained applications.
Compact Design:Â Their slim profile allows for a compact bearing design, saving space in machinery without sacrificing performance.
Low Friction:Â Needle rollers reduce friction between moving parts, leading to smoother operation and reduced wear, which is critical in high-speed applications.
Durability:Â These rollers are designed to withstand harsh conditions, including high temperatures and heavy loads, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments.
Versatility:Â Needle rollers can be used in various applications, from automotive transmissions to industrial machinery, due to their ability to handle both radial and axial loads effectively.
