As a SKF bearing distributor, Nodes bearings supplies SKF drawn cup needle roller bearings, including drawn cup needle roller bearing with open ends, with a closed end, and full complement drawn cup needle roller bearing.
SKF drawn cup needle roller bearings are needle roller bearings with 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 SKF needle 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.
The drawn cup of hardened steel and the needle roller and cage assembly of these bearings form a non-separable unit.
SKF drawn cup needle bearings with a closed end are suitable for bearing arrangements at the ends of shafts. The profiled design of the closed end accommodates small axial guidance forces. Drawn cup needle roller bearings generally run directly on the shaft. However, in cases where the shaft cannot be hardened and ground, they can be combined with an inner ring.
The drawn cup of hardened steel and the needle roller and cage assembly of these bearings form a non-separable unit. The space available for lubricant is large enough to enable long relubrication intervals.
Typically, SKF drawn cup needle roller bearings have a single row of rollers. However, wide sizes incorporate two needle roller and cage assemblies immediately adjacent to each other with a lubrication hole in the outer ring.
On request, any single row drawn cup needle roller bearing for shaft diameters of 7 mm and above can be supplied with a lubrication hole in the outer ring.
SKF drawn cup needle roller bearings are mounted with an interference fit in the housing bore. Therefore, shoulders or snap rings are not required to locate the bearing axially so the design of the housing bore is simple and can be produced economically.
