Bottom Roller Bearings

NIBL manufactures a wide range of Bottom Roller Bearings, specifically designed Needle Roller Bearings for long life and low maintenance in Ring Frames. The outer ring of the bearing is crowned to accommodate misalignment in the roller stands. This crowning also helps prevent early bearing failure by distributing the load uniformly. The inner ring features knurling on its flanges, which provides an effective seal to prevent the entry of fibres and protect the bearing from damage.

NIBL Bottom Roller Bearings incorporate either a steel cage split into two halves or a plastic cage. The design of the cage pockets ensures that the needles remain in place and receive precise guidance. Lubrication is applied through a grease nipple, and the bearing is easily secured on the roller stand using a holder (locating cap). This holder can be customized to fit unique application designs.
