Light weight design and safe for extreme environments, aircraft bearings are typically used to support high loads which spin at medium to low RPMs and are commonly oscillating. These bearings can take many forms including single, double row or thin section ball bearings.Metric shell type needle roller bearings have high length-to-diameter ratios. They are commonly used in farm and construction equipment, gasoline engines, gas pumps, and small appliances. Needle bearings have smaller rollers and the highest load capacity for a given radial space of all rolling bearings.Needle Roller Bearings Needle bearings feature a smaller cross-section, higher load-carrying capacity, greater rigidity, and lower inertia forces that facilitate size and weight reductions in machinery. They’re designed to withstand oscillation, perform under severe conditions, and interchange with sliding bearings.

Solid needle roller bearings are high-accuracy bearings with maximum load capacity within a limited space for various operating conditions. Made of carefully selected vacuum-degassed bearing steel or carburizing steel, the raceway rings are finished with accurate grinding after heat treatment.
