Needle Bearings for Drivetrain
Has anyone investigated whether they'd work well or not? I'm looking into them because they can have considerably smaller OD for the same ID in comparison to ball bearings, and this would allow smaller, lighter axle blocks (it's for a west coast drive train.)
Generally, I've heard they can't support axial loads, but I haven't managed to find any numbers on this. Would they be able to stand up to the rigor of FRC matches? Side impacts could impose a significant amount of force to them, and even turning would put some force on. Anyone have thoughts?
