When you need to support a high radial load in machinery with a compact footprint, this drawn-cup needle roller bearing from SKF is a reliable solution. Bearings of this type are generally used directly on a hardened and ground shaft, but will also work with an unhardened shaft in conjunction with an inner ring. This unit is ideal for use in situations where the housing can't be used as a raceway but the bearing arrangement needs to fit into a small space.

• Open end makes it suitable for use in clean environments where the lubricant can circulate freely within the race without risk of contamination
• Sheet-steel cage material makes for a strong and lightweight component
• Maximum speed of 16,000rpm with grease or 24,000rpm with oil for use at high rotational speeds

• Automotive sector
• Agricultural equipment
• Construction machinery

A drawn-cup needle roller bearing combines low sectional height with high load-carrying capacity, making it a popular choice for rotating components in smaller-scale applications.
