Bearing was developed long back towards ending of 19th century and initially was hand- made. As the time progressed with the technological advancement, bearings also changed a lot with much better features and design. However, the extensive use of bearing in machine did not changes and remained as integral part as its presence creates rolling motion to ensure smooth movement and also help to reduce friction.

One stop for all queries and requirements

While preparing a catalogue, the manufacturer considers many key aspects in mind such as accuracy of details, should provide even basic information. If you look at the Needle bearing catalogue, you can find information right from inception to the current time. A detailed catalogue will contain many useful information about needle bearing such as 

1. Applications 

2. Engineering details viz. bearing type, Bearing Selection 

3. Mounting, Housing Shaft Design, Limiting speeds, Lubrication

4. Calculation for load carrying 

5. Tolerance level of bearing

6. Instances to ascertain bearing failure

A catalogue not only has technical specification, it will also contain formulas for load calculation to find under which circumstances, needle bearing can perform better. It will also provide information regarding bearing reaction, different load types and about bearing life. 

It is recommended to refer catalogue to have complete information about needle type bearing on all required and related aspects. 

This Bearing Can Sustain High Axial and Radial Type of Loads

Bearings function differ based on placement of rollers and cages. A Tapered type of roller bearings are designed with singular row of roller which are mounted opposing other one. This bearing is type of angular contact that is capable to tolerate both high axial and radial load with ease. While designing the tapered roller, the major considerations are Bearing Life, Ability to handle equivalent Static or Dynamic Load, Preloaded bearing calculation. The design part also looks at type of Cage design, process recommendations for fitting and mounting, recommendations for lubrication. 

At the same time, installation and assemble criteria are also factored. Due to its precision in design, this bearing reduces friction effectively and are used in Aerospace, Agriculture, Machine Tools, Mining, Wind & Coal Power Generation, Rail, Automotive, Oil and Gas, Cement, construction etc.

This bearing type is available in Single Row, with flanged ring placed outer, Double Row, Dual Single row assembly. Each type has specific pre-condition for better performance and desired outcome. 

Bearings are important part of machine; it’s recommended to understand in detail about the type of bearing and its specification for better outcomes. Referring catalogue can answer many queries on needle thrust bearing and other bearings and  will also help to choose the best. While selecting any bearing, compromising on quality can cost a lot in future so best to go for a branded bearing.
