Product Description

Drawn cup needle bearings are designed for undertake radial loads and decrease the friction rotating mechanical parts. drawn cup needle roller bearings have a deep drawn, thin-walled outer ring. They are characterized by a very low sectional height and high load carrying capacity.
There are two basic designs: the full complement and the caged type. Both have a drawn outer shell that serves as a raceway for the rollers contained in the bearing. The full complement version has the maximum number of rollers mechanically retained by the drawn outer shell. This design combines high radial load-carrying capability with low cost. The standard caged version contains a one-piece steel cage to guide and retain the rollers. This design provides high speed and maximum lubricant retention capability.

Drawn cup needle roller bearings are typically used in applications where the housing bore cannot be used as a raceway for a needle roller and cage assembly, but where a very compact and economical bearing arrangement is required. These bearings are mounted with a tight interference fit in the housing. That enables a simple and economic design of the housing bore, as shoulders or snap rings are not required to locate the bearing axially.
