It's about what you do
Drawn cups make equipment downsizing and lightweighting possible by offering the thinnest outer ring of all rolling bearings. They cut down on cost and complication, installing easily with a press fit—no need for snap rings, collars or housing shoulders—and the outer ring is accurately drawn to serve as the outer raceway without subsequent machining.
Available in full complement or caged designs, in sizes 1/8 in. to 5-1/2 in. bore (3 mm - 139.7 mm).

WHEN THE PRESSURE'S ON
PUMP UP THE SAVINGS
Top quality machined-race bearings do xyx but they can be expensive. JTEKT's heavy duty drawn cup needle roller bearings feature thicker walls and can often meet the capacity and tolerance requirements to get the job done right for less. Let us take a look to see if swapping makes cents—like it did for one of our major industrial pump customers.

[RE]TESTING THE LIMITS
The automotive industry's need for more efficient powertrains and new electric platforms have driven recent radial needle roller bearing positions to withstand higher rotational speeds and larger pitch diameters. These challenges have sent some back to the drawing board. Us? We went back to the test bench and the results are in—bring on electrification!
BUILT + BACKED BETTER
Whether you go standard or custom-engineered, all of our drawn cup needle bearings are backed by our industry-leading engineering services and technical know-how and supported by the state-of-the-art design and advanced manufacturing equipment of our technical centers and TS-16949/ISO-9000-certified manufacturing facilities. This includes precision metal forming, in-house heat treatment and complete on-site metallurgical labs.
