We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Needle Roller Bearings",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Bearings provide smooth motion for delicate jobs from
Micromech, which we summarised at the time by saying "Spyraflo Self-Aligning Needle Roller bearings help deliver ithographic printing plates to the press undamaged and accurately located".
The day before,
we featured the news release Bearings cope with harsh agricultural applications from
Schaeffler (UK): "Schaeffler has developed a ready-to-fit bearing unit with triple-lip sealing to avoid the need for maintenance in tough agricultural applications".
In December 2007, we covered the news from Victrex
concerning its Vicote 804 Blk
- take a look at Polymer coating boosts bearing reliability
which says: "Coatings replace copper and silver on needle roller bearings to reduce wear and lengthen the life of the bearings and cage".
Take a look also at the news release from Schaeffler (UK), Choosing the right bearing coating,
as well as Bearings aid high-quality printing from Micromech,
and Bearing heaters ease mounting from Schaeffler (UK).
