Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearings

Drawn cup needle roller bearings feature a deep drawn, thin-walled outer ring that serves as the raceway for the needle rollers, allowing for a very low sectional height and high load carrying capacity compared to other needle roller bearing types. Available in bore sizes ranging from 3mm to 139.7mm, these compact bearings are well-suited for applications where space is limited, as their design allows for a smaller overall footprint. The rigid outer ring provides a press fit into light alloy housings, and they can be found in both caged and solid (uncaged) configurations, with the caged versions offering easier assembly and disassembly, and the solid designs providing an even more compact arrangement. The key advantages of drawn cup needle roller bearings are their low profile, high load capacity, and suitability for space-constrained applications across a wide range of industries.
