TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bearings, in particular to a high-load-capacity needle bearing. BACKGROUND
[0002] The needle bearing is a type of bearing, which uses a needle as a rolling element. The needle has a small diameter and a long length. Compared with other types of rolling bearings, the needle bearing has a high radial load capacity. In the transmission system of some large industrial equipment, such as mining machinery and metallurgical equipment, the traditional needle bearing is prone to needle wear, deformation, and even bearing failure under high load conditions, which affects the normal operation and service life of the equipment. Therefore, a needle bearing is needed to withstand large radial loads and impact loads.
[0003] The needle bearing in the prior art has high load capacity, but the number of needles in the needle bearing is large, and the contact points and contact areas between the needles and the inner and outer ring raceways and the cage are correspondingly increased. When rotating at high speed, the end of the needle is subjected to a large pressure, and the friction between the end and the pocket hole also increases. The increased friction at these contact points consumes more energy, limiting the increase in the rotational speed of the bearing. Therefore, more power is needed to drive it, which increases energy consumption and operating costs.
