Description
SKF HK1010 needle roller sleeve
The SKF HK1010 is a needle roller bearing with open ends. The HK1010 model is used for AM6 engines, among others.
This type of bearing essentially consists of a thin steel shell and many thin rollers (needles). As it does not have its own inner ring, it uses the shaft itself as a raceway. This makes it extremely light and compact. It is a classic press-fit bearing: once pressed into the housing, it sits firmly and securely.

What is a Small end bearing?
The small end bearing or piston pin bearing is a needle bearing; the rolling elements used are cylindrically shaped needle rollers. It works similarly to all bearings, reducing friction and increasing the life of the crankshaft and the cylinder.
The small end bearing takes in the piston pin and reduces friction between the piston pin and connecting rod by distributing the load over a larger area.
The small end bearing plays a vital role in the reliability and longevity of the engine, so it is important to replace and lubricate it well each time you reassemble the engine.
