The Needle Roller Bearing is a multi-faceted bearing solution. An ideal bearing for applications requiring a bearing with a low cross section, low mass, relatively high carrying capacity and/or high stiffness. However the Needle Roller Bearing is sensitive to misalignment.
The low cross section of the Needle Roller Bearing design allows for the downsizing of an application, or ‘power up’ of a products performance.
BEP Ltd supply the complete range of standard needle roller bearings, which comprise of four product categories: Radial needle roller bearings, needle & cylindrical roller thrust bearings, Combined needle roller bearings and track runner bearings.
