Needle roller bearings

Bearings are available in different types, designed to meet specific requirements. Needle roller bearings, for example, are used to support high axial loads in environments with limited space.

For the most demanding industrial applications, full complement bearings are often used, which provide resistance to overloads and vibrations thanks to their hardened outer ring. If you need to handle radial and axial loads simultaneously, on the other hand, combined bearings are an ideal solution

When are roller bearings used?

Roller bearings are used when it is necessary to handle high axial loads, e.g. in heavy industrial applications such as machinery and production plants

What is the difference between a radial and an axial bearing?

The difference between these bearings is in the direction of the load they handle.  A radial bearing is designed to handle loads perpendicular to the shaft axis, while an axial bearing is designed to support loads parallel to the axis.
