Metric Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearings/Open/Closed End

Drawn cup needle roller bearings support radial loads and reduce friction between rotating components, with a drawn outer shell serving as a raceway for the rollers. The small cross section of the drawn cup bearing provides high load-carrying capability with minimum required space. Drawn cup bearings are easily installed with a press fit in the housing.

The outer ring in the form of a cup is accurately drawn and no subsequent machining is performed to build the outer raceway. Drawn cup needle roller bearings are available in open ends (HK or TA)  or single, closed-end designs(BK). They are also available with one or two integral seals. Other options include a single lubricating hole and matching inner ring.
