SKF drawn cup needle roller bearings have a deep drawn, thin-walled outer ring. 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.

Bearing features

• Low cross section 
  In applications where less space is available, drawn cup needle roller bearings enable downsizing.

• High load carrying capacity and stiffness 
  Owing to their large number of rollers, drawn cup needle roller bearings have a high load carrying capacity and stiffness. 

• Good running properties
