NEEDLE BEARINGS
Needle roller bearings are essentially cylindrical roller bearings except that their cylindrical rollers have a length 3 to 10 times their diameter (versus less a length less than 3 times their diameter). 

Therefore, the ratio of the bearing outside diameter to the inscribed circle diameter is small, and they have a rather high radial load capacity.

Even though they have a low cross section, precision needle roller bearings have a high radial load capacity and are exceptionally suited for bearing applications where radial space is limited.

A cam follower roller bearing (also called “track follower”) is a specialty roller bearing designed to follow tracks or cams and in a wide range of linear motion systems. 

Cam followers are often used on conveyors, process transfer lines, such as those used int industries such as food and beverage, plastics, glass and among others. 

AST cam followers are also popular for defense and aircraft applications, where maintainability and system reliability are important design considerations. 

To smoothly and evenly distribute the loads, cam followers usually are designed with a full complement of rolling elements. 

However, there is more than one type of configuration for cam followers, but the most distinctive characteristic is how the cam follower is mounted to its counterpart.
