●Needle Roller Bearings ●Needle Roller Bearings 1. Characteristics and types of needle roller bearings 2. Handling and accuracy of needle roller bearings Needle roller bearing are rolling bearings which oscillating motion due to their low moment 2.1 Required accuracy and surface When steel is surface-hardened by carburizing have small diameter cylindrical rolling elements of inertia. Types of needle roller bearings are hardness of raceway surfaces or carbonitriding, the depth from the surface to whose length is relatively long compared with shown in the table below. This catalog provides 550 HV is defined as effective case depth per their diameter. dimension tables for the representative bearing For applications using needle roller bearings, JIS. The minimum value of the effective case Needle roller bearings have a small cross- types indicated by blue text in the table below. the outer diameter of the shaft or the inner depth is roughly estimated using formula (1). sectional height and have a larger load capacity For more information about needle roller diameter of the housing or the gear is and rigidity than other types of rolling bearings bearings, see the special catalog issued separately sometimes used directly as a raceway surface.
