INGCO S-RH-NB810-RH15008, Needle Bearing(S-RH-NB810-RH15008)

product details:

In a rotary hammer drill, a needle bearing plays a crucial role in facilitating smooth rotation and reducing friction within the chuck mechanism. Here’s a comprehensive description of needle bearings in rotary hammers:

Function:

• Supporting Rotating Shaft: The needle bearing acts as a support system for a rotating shaft within the chuck. This shaft is often connected to the motor and plays a key role in transmitting rotational power to the drill bit.
• Reducing Friction: The needle bearing consists of many small, thin needles that roll between inner and outer races. This design minimizes friction between the rotating shaft and the chuck housing, allowing for smoother and more efficient rotation.
• Handling Radial Loads: While the primary function is to reduce friction, needle bearings can also handle some radial loads (perpendicular to the shaft’s axis). This helps to ensure proper alignment and stability of the rotating shaft during drilling operations.

Location:

• The needle bearing is typically situated within the chuck assembly, close to where the drill bit shank is inserted.

Benefits of Using Needle Bearings:

• Compact Design: Needle bearings offer a compact size compared to other bearing types, allowing for a space-saving design within the rotary hammer’s chuck mechanism.
• High Load Capacity: Despite their compact size, needle bearings can handle relatively high radial loads, making them suitable for the demands of rotary hammer drilling.
• Low Friction: The design minimizes friction, contributing to efficient power transfer and smoother operation of the rotary hammer.
