IKO Needle Roller Bearing Series
Needle roller bearings are rotational motion bearings in which a thin needle-shaped roller is incorporated into a rolling element. They have a low cross-section height and high load capacity compared with ball bearings. Because they are small, needle roller bearings help to reduce overall machine size, and are therefore widely used in applications such as automobiles, motorcycles, printing presses, industrial robots and construction equipment.
