IKO Bearings: Precision and Performance for Demanding Applications

As a trusted global leader in bearing technology, IKO (Nippon Thompson Co., Ltd.) has built a strong reputation for engineering excellence, precision, and durability. With a product portfolio that supports high-load, high-speed, and compact mechanical systems, IKO bearings are widely used in industrial automation, robotics, machine tools, medical devices, and more.

One of the core product categories is the Needle Roller Bearings, which are designed to handle high radial loads in compact spaces. These bearings offer superior load capacity and reduced friction, making them ideal for applications with limited mounting space.

Cam Followers and Roller Followers are two specialized types of bearings developed by IKO to support linear motion and rotational guidance. These bearings are often used in automated equipment and conveyor systems, providing exceptional wear resistance and smooth operation under heavy loads.

IKO’s advanced Crossed Roller Bearings are engineered for high-precision applications that require high rigidity and rotational accuracy. They are often used in robotic arms, medical imaging equipment, and semiconductor manufacturing tools.

To complement these components, IKO also offers Inner Rings for needle bearings, which improve shaft compatibility and enhance bearing performance.

Thrust Bearings are another key product line from IKO, providing reliable axial load support in high-speed and compact mechanical assemblies. These are essential in gearboxes, pumps, and compressors where axial load control is critical.

For oscillating and pivoting applications, IKO produces Spherical Bushings and Rod Ends. These components provide high-misalignment tolerance and durability, ideal for hydraulic cylinders, suspension systems, and heavy machinery joints.

Roller Bearings from IKO deliver enhanced performance in applications that require both radial and axial load handling. They are commonly used in industrial machinery, gearboxes, and automotive components.

Finally, IKO’s Combined Type Bearings offer the benefit of integrating radial and thrust bearing elements into a single unit, simplifying installation and improving efficiency in complex motion systems.

With a full range of bearing solutions, IKO stands at the forefront of motion technology, delivering performance, innovation, and reliability to global industries.

Needle Roller Bearings
IKO needle roller bearings are precision-engineered components designed to deliver high load capacity in compact spaces. As a core product line of IKO Nippon Thompson, these bearings utilize cylindrical rollers with a diameter ≤6mm and a length-to-diameter ratio ≥3:1, achieving superior radial load performance while minimizing axial footprint. IKO needle roller bearings are a type of bearing that uses slender needle shaped rollers. Compared to traditional ball bearings, they have lower cross-sectional height and greater load-bearing capacity. IKO needle roller beads are particularly suitable for situations that require space saving and heavy load bearing, and are widely used in fields such as automobiles, motorcycles, printing machines, industrial robots, and construction machinery
