Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The needle bearing is a roller bearing with cylindrical rollers, usually composed of rollers, a retainer, and optionally an inner ring and / or an outer ring. The rollers of this type of bearing are thin and long, so the radial structure is compact, and the outer diameter is the smallest when the inner diameter size and load capacity are the same as other types of bearings, which is particularly suitable for support structures with limited radial installation size. Traditional needle bearings have good radial load capacity, compact radial space, but weak axial load capacity, wide axial space, and complex assembly. For example, the double-sealed double-row needle bearing disclosed in patent document CN111457006A has good grease sealing, but still lacks in load capacity and size compactness. In order to overcome the problems of existing needle bearings in these aspects, the technical personnel have made adjustments to some needle bearings.
