Adjustable needle bearings consist of a non-machined outer bush, supporting rings in plastic, outer rings with a spherical shell surface, needle roller cage assemblies and (depending on model) removable inner rings.
Adjustable needle bearings are used if static alignment errors on the shaft with respect to the housing have to be compensated for. Alignment errors of up to 3° can be compensated using this bearing type. These bearings may not be used to withstand swivelling and tumbling movements!
If the shaft has been designed as a raceway, bearings without inner rings can be used. Otherwise, bearings with inner rings are required.

Distinguishing features:

• the bearing is fitted with needles as rolling elements
• the bearing must be capable of compensating for alignment errors (3° possible as maximum)
• the bearing is fitted with a plastic supporting ring
• an outer bush in sheet steel is placed over the actual bearing outer ring

Typical application areas:

Transmissions of all types; motors of all types
