A needle roller bearing is a bearing using small cylindrical rollers. These cylindrical rollers are used to reduce friction of the rotating surface. Needle bearings have a larger surface area touching the outer surfaces of the bearing as compared to ball bearings. Needle roller bearings are also more compact. Needle roller bearings are generally used in engine components such as rocker arm pivots, pumps, compressors or transmissions. W.M.
