Key Takeaways

  • Koyo needle roller bearings are small and light. They fit into tight spaces. This helps machines become smaller and lighter.
  • These bearings can hold heavy loads. They use strong steel and smart design. This makes them good for hard jobs.
  • They last a long time because they are tough. They have low friction, so they do not wear out fast. This helps machines work well for longer.
  • Koyo needle roller bearings work in many industries. They are used in cars, planes, building, and farming. They come in many sizes and have different features.
  • These bearings are easy to put in. They use less energy. This helps machines save power and work better in hard places.

Compact Design

Small Cross-Section

Koyo needle roller bearings are not very tall. This helps them fit into small spaces in machines. They can still hold heavy loads even though they are small. Engineers like these bearings because they save space inside machines. This makes the whole machine smaller. Saving space is very important in some industries. For example, car gearboxes and transmissions are very tight. Koyo needle roller bearings fit in these places and still work well.

These bearings are great for places where space is tight. They are used in cars, motorcycles, printers, robots, and building machines. The Koyo Bearing J-812;PDL125 is used a lot in car gearboxes. It is good when you need a small bearing.

Lightweight Construction

Koyo needle roller bearings are light. This helps make machines weigh less. For example, the K17X21X17 bearing weighs only 9.5 grams. Lighter machines are easier to move and use less energy. Even though these bearings are small and light, they are still strong. The Koyo Bearing JTT-1010;PBL051 is one example. It fits in small car parts and steering systems. It works well and keeps machines light.

Performance Advantages

High Load Capacity

Koyo needle roller bearings use strong Japanese steel. They are made with smart engineering. This helps them hold a lot of weight, even when small. Many engineers pick these bearings for heavy jobs. They do not need much space. The drawn cup design lets more rollers fit inside. This means each bearing can hold more weight.

The table below shows how much weight these bearings can hold for their size:

Bore Diameter (in)Outer Diameter (in)Width (in)Dynamic Load Rating (N)Static Load Rating (N)
3/8 (0.375)9/16 (0.5625)1/2 (0.5)70609720
7/16 (0.4375)5/8 (0.625)1/2 (0.5)897013800

Koyo needle roller bearings can hold more weight than other bearings this size. Their small shape and full complement design help them work in tight spaces.

Durability and Wear Resistance

These bearings last a long time because they use hard steel. They are made with careful engineering. The rollers and raceways do not wear out fast. They work well even with heavy loads and high speeds. The full complement design helps lower friction. This means less heat and slower wear.

The friction coefficient for Koyo needle roller bearings is lower than plain bearings. It is a little higher than ball bearings. This gives them both strength and good performance. The chart below shows how their friction compares to other types:

Many car makers use these bearings in transmissions and steering. They trust them to last for many years. Koyo uses quality steel and smart design. This helps machines run well and stay reliable.

Versatile Applications

koyo needle roller bearings in Industry

Many industries use koyo needle roller bearings in their machines. These bearings work well in cars, planes, building, and farming. Engineers put them in car transmissions and airplane engines. They are also in farm tools and building machines. Big machines in factories use them because they are strong and last long.

  • Automotive: They go in transmissions, steering, and engines.
  • Aerospace: They are in airplane engines and control parts.
  • Construction: They help cranes, loaders, and diggers lift heavy things.
  • Agriculture: They help tractors and harvesters work better.
  • Industrial Equipment: They are in conveyor belts, presses, and robots.

Koyo needle roller bearings come in many types and sizes. This helps engineers find the right one for each job. Some have bore sizes from 3 mm to 165 mm. Others range from 3 mm to 139.7 mm. Some bearings have open or closed ends. Some have seals or special holes for oil. This makes it easy to pick the best bearing for every machine.

Note: The small size and strong steel help these bearings last longer. They do not need repairs often, so machines can keep working.

Easy Integration

Koyo needle roller bearings are simple to put in machines. They use press fits or tight fits, depending on the need. Fitting them right helps them last longer and work better. These bearings fit in small spaces, which is good for new machines.

Some special features make them even better:

  • Anti-rotation designs stop the bearing from moving out of place.
  • Lubrication features help them stay cool and last longer.
  • Good steel and smart design lower friction and wear.

These features help machines work in hard places like farms or building sites. The bearings can handle heavy loads, fast speeds, and rough use. Their open shape lets them work even if things do not line up perfectly.

Koyo needle roller bearings help companies save energy. Their small size and low friction mean machines use less power. This helps the environment and saves money.

  • Engineers like needle roller bearings because they are small, strong, and can be used in many ways. These bearings help machines take up less space and work better in lots of jobs.
  • New materials and smart designs make these bearings last longer and work well in tight spots with heavy loads.
