The needle is the tool that forms the loop. It rises to clear the old loop, takes the new yarn in the hook, and draws it through as the latch closes. Everything else on the machine exists to present yarn to the needle at the right moment and the right tension.
Needle butt height and shape decide how the needle is driven by the cam, so a needle has to match the machine model as well as the gauge. Hook size follows the gauge, and the latch has to swing freely, since a stiff or bent latch is the most common single cause of holes and dropped stitches.

Knitting Needles Questions
Can I replace only the broken needles?
For a few needles during a shift, yes. But a machine running a mix of new and long worn needles will show the difference in the fabric, so plan a full change on a maintenance cycle.
What information identifies a needle?
Machine builder and model, gauge, and the needle reference from the old box. Butt height and needle length are what actually distinguish similar looking needles.
How should needles be stored?
Keep them in the original boxes, dry, and lightly oiled. Corrosion on a hook or latch will mark the yarn.
Do you supply branded needles?
Branded needles are listed in their own group in this catalogue.
