Needle Roller Bearings
The roller side of the range: needle and thrust needle bearings alongside cam followers, spherical, cylindrical and track roller lines.
Needle roller bearings · AXK thrust · CFS cam followers · NU cylindrical
The family under one heading
Under the needle roller heading sit the lines that share thin-section roller logic: thrust needle roller bearings of the AXK series, stainless cam followers of the CFS series, spherical bearings of the GE and COM series, cylindrical roller bearings of the NU series and U-groove track rollers of the LFR series. Buyers who know the textbook heading will still find each line on its own detail page below.
| Sub-family | Series | Line in brief |
|---|---|---|
| Thrust needle roller bearings | AXK1024, AXK1226, AXK2035, AXK4060 | Flat axial needle assemblies |
| Cam follower bearings | CFS3, CFS4, CFS5 in stainless steel | Stud-type track followers |
| Spherical bearings | GE70ES, GE80ES, COM4 to COM12 | Radial spherical plain bearings |
| Cylindrical roller bearings | NU204EM, NU2234, NU316 | Single-row NU cylindrical lines |
| U-groove roller bearings | LFR series, LFR5201-10 | Grooved track rollers |
Thin rollers, full-length contact
Roller bearings trade the ball's point contact for a line contact, and needle rollers push that trade furthest: long thin rollers carry high radial load inside a small envelope. The thrust branch of the family does the same work axially in a flat assembly — the thrust needle line runs in AXK sizes from AXK1024 to AXK4060, with a bore span of 4 to 160 mm across the line. Where the load path turns a corner or follows a track, the cam followers and the LFR track rollers take over.
Specifying from this family
The series code does most of the work in this family, because each code family fixes the construction: AXK for the flat thrust assembly, CFS for the stainless cam follower, GE and COM for the spherical bearing, NU for the cylindrical line. State the code and the size, then the material point where the line offers one — stainless on the cam followers is the standing example — and the quantity. If the position is a track or cam duty, say what the roller runs on; track condition is part of a follower specification.
