I use them a lot in precision machinery, have a lot of respect for the quality.

In general, for crankshafts, the type you use will depend on whether you need to accommodate axial movement. If your crankshaft needs to float axially or handle thermal expansion, the N or NU types are better. If you need to restrict axial movement, the NJ type might be more appropriate. Always consider the crankshaft's design and load-bearing requirements when selecting the bearing type.
And, these tapered roller bearings allow for axial movement and are ideal when the crankshaft needs to accommodate thermal expansion or needs to "float" within the engine. They support radial loads but allow axial displacement, which can be beneficial in high-temperature environments or systems with dynamic shaft positioning.
