The invention discloses an automatic assembly machine for rack type short cylindrical roller bearings, which comprises a supply disc, a cylindrical roller assembly mechanism, an assembly mold and an electric cabinet. The cylindrical roller assembly mechanism comprises an assembly push rod, a propelling push rod, two sleeves, two racks and two transmission gears, the two sleeves are provided with pressure springs, the two transmission gears respectively control actions of the two racks and are meshed with the racks, one end of the assembly push rod and one end of the propelling push rod are respectively fixedly connected with the ends of the two racks, both an extending end of the assembly push rod and an extending end of the propelling push rod are inserted in the pressure springs of the sleeves, and the propelling push rod and the assembly push rod are angularly arranged on one side of the assembly mold. Gear and rack transmission is used for controlling reciprocating motion of the push rods so as to push rollers to enter a bearing inner raceway, so that the bearing rollers are assembled by workers conveniently, problems that cost is high, efficiency is low, and super-finishing oil films easy to be collided with the rollers scratch the surfaces of the rollers in manual assembly are prevented, and the quality of products is greatly improved.
