SKF needle roller bearings are bearings with cylindrical rollers that are small in diameter relative to their length. The ends of the rollers are relieved slightly to modify the line contact between the rollers and raceways.
Needle roller and cage assemblies
SKF needle roller and cage assemblies are ready-to-mount, self-contained bearings. They are an excellent choice for applications that require a very rigid bearing arrangement as well as a high load carrying capacity.

Drawn cup needle roller bearings
SKF drawn cup needle roller bearings have a deep drawn, thin-walled outer ring. They are characterized by a very low sectional height and high load carrying capacity.

Needle roller bearings with machined rings
SKF needle roller bearings with machined rings are made of carbon chromium bearing steel. Relative to their low sectional height, they have a high load carrying capacity.

Alignment needle roller bearings
SKF alignment needle roller bearings have an outer ring with a sphered (convex) outside surface. Two polymer seating rings with a sphered (concave) inside surface are encased in a drawn sheet steel sleeve and fitted over the outer ring.
Universal joint bearings
SKF manufactures these bearings with a cold forged or machined cup needle roller bearings with a closed end for different applications.
Needle roller bearing components
Needle roller bearing inner rings
SKF supplies inner rings for needle roller bearings separately. They 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.
SKF needle rollers are made of carbon chromium steel. The rollers have a hardness of 58 to 65 HRC and have a precision ground surface. They can be used to design full complement bearing arrangements for slow-speed or oscillating applications.

Combined needle roller bearings
SKF combined needle roller bearings consist of a radial needle roller bearing combined with a thrust bearing. They can accommodate both radial and axial loads. Combined needle roller bearings provide the means to design locating bearing arrangements where radial space is limited.

Needle roller thrust bearings
SKF needle roller thrust bearings are fitted with a form-stable cage to reliably retain and guide a large number of needle rollers. The very small diameter deviation of the rollers within one assembly enables these bearings to accommodate heavy axial loads and shock loads.

Track runner bearings
Track runner bearings are designed to run on all types of tracks and to be used in cam drives, conveyor systems, etc. These bearings have a thick-walled outer ring, which enables them to accommodate high radial loads, while reducing distortion and bending stresses.
