Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearings

Size Range
Inch: 1/8 in. - 5-1/2 in. bore
Metric: 3mm - 60mm bore 

Drawn cup needle bearings are designed to support radial loads and reduce friction between rotating components. The low cross section of the drawn cup bearing provides maximum load-carrying capability with a minimum of space required. Drawn cup bearings are easily installed with a press fit in the housing. We offer a wide size range of standard inch and metric drawn cup bearings. 

Radial Need Assemblies

Size Range
6mm - 150mm bore

Needle roller and cage assemblies consist of a complement of needle rollers held in place by a cage. With no inner or outer ring, the low cross section provides maximum load-carrying capability within the smallest envelope. The mating shaft and housing are normally used as inner and outer raceways. 

The unitized design makes for easy handling and installation. Controlled contour rollers with an optimum profile reduce end stresses and allow operation under moderate misalignment. A variety of cage designs, styles and materials, as well as multiple roller paths and segmented construction, meet broad application requirements.

Heavy Duty Needle Bearings

Size Range
Inch: 0.625 in. - 9.25 in. bore
Metric: 5mm - 100mm bore

Heavy-duty needle roller bearings consist of a machined and ground channel-shaped outer ring with a complement of needle rollers retained and guided by a cage. The thick outer ring provides maximum load capacity and shock resistance with a relatively small radial cross section. 

With the high-strength cage retaining and guiding the rollers, this design provides high speed and lubrication retention capability. A lubrication groove and hole in the O.D. facilitate relubrication through the outer ring. These bearings can be used with or without a machined and ground inner ring depending on the suitability of the shaft as a raceway surface

Thrust Bearings

Size Range
6mm - 140 mm (Typical size range 25mm - 75mm)

Needle roller and cage thrust assemblies are complements of small diameter needle rollers arranged in a spoke-like configuration. Needle rollers are equally spaced by means of a cage whose web section separates the rollers and provides guidance to keep them tracking in an orbital path. The purpose of these assemblies is to transmit a thrust load between two relatively rotating objects while greatly reducing friction. 

Needle roller and cage thrust assemblies can also be unitized with lipped washers which serve as raceway surfaces for the needle rollers. Washers can be supplied separately or can be mechanically unitized to the needle roller thrust assemblies for ease of handling. 

Cam Follower , Track Rollers

Size Range
Inch: 1/2 in. - 7.0 in. O.D.
Metric: 16mm - 100mm O.D. 

Track rollers (also known as cam followers) are characterized by their thick-walled outer rings which run directly on a track. The thick outer rings permit high load-carrying capability while minimizing distortion and bending stresses. 

Drawn Cup Roller Clutches

Size Range
Inch: 1/2 in. - 7.0 in. O.D.
Metric: 16mm - 100mm O.D. 

Track rollers (also known as cam followers) are characterized by their thick-walled outer rings which run directly on a track. The thick outer rings permit high load-carrying capability while minimizing distortion and bending stresses.
