Are Needle Roller Bearings Used For?

Needle roller bearings use long, narrow rollers to support loads over a large surface area. This design reduces friction and allows for high load support in applications where space is limited. You’ll commonly find needle bearings in gearboxes, transmissions, pumps, and construction equipment — anywhere compact, high-performance components are needed.

What Types of Needle Bearings Are in Stock?

We keep a wide range of needle bearings and components in stock, including:

  • Drawn cup needle roller bearings – ideal when space is limited and weight is a concern
  • Machined needle roller bearings – offer tighter tolerances and perform well at high speeds
  • Needle rollers and cages – used in custom assemblies with tight radial fits
  • Inner rings – for use where shaft surfaces aren’t hardened or ground

    • Each bearing is supplied in various diameters, lengths, and shaft configurations to suit your requirements.

    Are Needle Roller Bearings Suitable for Your Equipment?

    If your equipment needs strong support in a compact housing, needle roller bearings are likely the right fit. These bearings are designed for rotating surfaces with limited space and can handle high speeds and heavy shaft loads. Their cage and roller construction ensures low friction and high durability. They are also well suited for use with outer rings and inner rings where the shaft or housing surface cannot act as a raceway.

    Do You Also Need Inner Rings or Ball Bearings?

    We stock a full selection of inner rings, outer rings, and ball bearings to support complex assemblies. If your application involves combined loads or needs precision alignment, pairing needle bearings with ball bearings improves performance and wear life. Inner rings are essential when the shaft is too soft or uneven to run directly against the rollers.
