Needle Roller Bearings

Roller and needle roller bearings are high-precision components essential for reducing friction and ensuring smooth movements. Among the solutions offered in the Rollon catalogue, we find bearings used in sectors such as automotive and heavy machinery. These components reduce wear, minimise downtime and lower maintenance costs, making them essential for industrial applications.

Needle-Thrust-Bearing

Needle Thrust Bearings

Nadella needle thrust bearings designed to support high axial loads while maintaining a small space requirement. This makes them particularly useful in applications where space is limited but high load carrying capacity and rigidity are required
Full-Complement-Needle-Bearing

Full Complement Needle Bearings

Nadella full complement needle bearings have a through hardened outer ring which results in high static and dynamic load capacities and an ability to withstand overloading, shocks and vibration. They are particularly suitable for operations involving oscillating motion but may also accept high speed conditions where good alignment is necessary
Combined-Bearing

Combined Bearings

Nadella combined bearings designed to support simultaneously both radial and axial load. They comprise a needle thrust bearing and needle cage retained in a common outer ring. Their high radial and axial load capacities and small space requirement enable cost effective solutions to be achieved.
Things to know

How many types of bearings are available in the Rollon catalogue?

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.
