Needle roller bearings are bearings with cylindrical rollers with a small diameter relative to their length. JSC Hidrobalt supplies needle roller bearings of various designs, series and sizes, which makes them suitable for various operating conditions and purposes. A needle roller bearing is a special type of roller bearing that uses long, thin cylindrical rollers resembling needles. Conventional rollers of roller bearings are only slightly longer than their diameter, but needle bearings usually have rollers that are at least four times longer than their diameter. Like all bearings, they are used to reduce friction on the rotating surface. Compared to ball bearings and conventional roller bearings, needle bearings have a larger surface area, so they can withstand a greater load. They are also thinner, so they need less space between the axis and the surrounding structure. Needle bearings are widely used in automotive components.
