Re: Needle Bearings for Drivetrain

While I haven't run any tests on them, we used them on our conveyor this year and broke two from general wear. We were running 5/16 urethane belt at 7.5% stretch. A drivetrain should experience more. I personally would not suggest using them for the purposes of a WCD.

However, I really hope someone chimes in with actual data, because I am curious to know the relationship between what they're rated for and actual recorded results.
