Needle Bearings
Needle and roller bearings differ from other ball bearings because of their long, thin, needle-like components which take the place of the balls in other bearings. The needles, longer than the width of the bearing, provide a more frictionless rolling mechanism and a larger surface area. That surface area means the bearings distribute weight better and can carry heavier loads.
Engineers use lightweight needle bearings in aircraft controls, potentiometers, and joysticks where precision is essential. Their high load capacity makes them useful in farm and construction equipment as well. We can lubricate these bearings with grease or oil, depending on the application, load capacity, speed, or temperature.
Alpine Bearing carries aircraft needle bearings from Accurate, Carter, IJK, NHBB, NMB, RBC, and Schatz.
Light weight design and safe for extreme environments, these bearings are typically used to support high loads which spin at medium to low RPMs and are commonly oscillating. These bearings can take many forms including single, double row or thin section ball bearings. Known for their precise manufacturing and durability, this type of bearing is good for a wide variety of applications. Choose double row for increased load capacity and speed.
