NeedleBearings

Needlebearingsarerollerbearingswithrollersthathavehighlengthtodiameterratios.
Comparedwithotherrollerbearings,needlebearingshavemuchsmallerrollersforagiven
boresize.

Loose-needle bearings are simply a full complement of needles in the annular space between
two hardened machine components, which form the bearing raceways. They provide an effective
and inexpensive bearing assembly with moderate speed capability, but they are sensitive to
misalignment.
Caged assemblies are simply a roller complement with a retainer, placed between two hardened
machine elements that act as raceways. Their speed capability is about 3 times higher than that
of loose-needle bearings, but the smaller complement of needles reduces load capacity for the
caged assemblies.
Thrust bearings are caged bearings with rollers assembled like the spokes of a wheel in a wafer
like retainer.
