Supplies both inner rings for needle roller bearings and needle rollers as separate needle roller bearing components. Inner rings are typically combined with needle roller and cage assemblies or drawn cup needle roller bearings in applications where the shaft cannot be hardened and ground.. Needle rollers can be used to design full complement bearing arrangements for low-speed.

Needle roller bearings are a bearing that is classified as either radial or thrust depending on the direction of the load being supported. Needle roller bearings include bearings whose rollers slightly exceed the size range of needle rollers as stipulated by ISO.NNeedle roller and cage assemblies are single or double-row units comprising cages and needle rollers. As their radial design height only corresponds with the diameter of the needle rollers, needle roller and cage assemblies can be used to realize bearings with a minimal radial design envelope.Needle roller bearings have a long track record as proven machine elements for the design of radially compact bearing arrangements with very high load-carrying capacity. In X-life configuration, they now have an up to 50 % longer service life.
