Needle Roller Bearings

SKP Bearing Industries was established in the year 1993 to meet the demands of various automotive, textile and industrial sector for precision needle roller. Since inception, the company is catering to all requirements of roller bearings. SKP needle rollers are used in automotive transmission, universal joints, front wheel drive constant velocity joints, water pump bearings, roller clutches, rollerised cam lifters, rocker arms, cam followers, starter drives and as pins and dowels for various other applications. These needle rollers are made from through-hardened bearing quality steel of hardness 58-65 HRC. The surface finish is < 0.2µ Ra. Rollers having better finish can be supplied on request. SKP rollers can be offered conforming to world standards such as DIN 5402, IS 4217 and all equivalent international standards. The company can also provide rollers in G5, G3, G2 classes. Proper maintenance of microgeometry in needle rollers is very important. SKP brand needle rollers are supplied with a contoured outside which decreases towards the ends. This reduces the stress peaks at the ends of the rolling elements and achieves proper distribution of stresses resulting from loading and shaft deflection. Since the profile of needle is not cylindrical along its whole length as there is a very slight taper towards the ends, therefore precise measurement of the diameter can only be carried out in the central area of the needle. Needle rollers having a greater taper at the end may be supplied on request. Needle rollers are available as per end shapes: type BR, BP, BPM and BR60.
