About Needle Rollers
Needle rollers are cylindrical rollers with a small diameter compared to their length. They are commonly used in various applications to reduce friction between rotating surfaces. At SKP Bearing, we provide a comprehensive range of needle rollers designed to meet diverse industrial needs.
Our needle roller solutions include:
Type BP (FLAT UNGROUND ENDS)
Diameter (D): 1.5 to 7 mm
Length (L): 3 to 100 mm
Type BR (ROUNDED ENDS)
Diameter (D): 1.5 to 7 mm
Length (L): 5 to 50 mm
Type BPM (FLAT GROUND ENDS)
Diameter (D): 2.5 to 10 mm
Length (L): 4 to 50 mm
Each type of needle roller is engineered with specific characteristics to optimize performance in different applications. The Type BP features flat unground ends, providing versatility and reliability across a wide range of operating conditions. With rounded ends, the Type BR offers enhanced durability and smoother operation, suitable for applications requiring precision and smoothness. The Type BPM, featuring flat ground ends, ensures precise alignment and consistent performance in demanding environments.
