The IKO Shell Type Needle Roller Bearing is a high-performance bearing designed for applications where space is limited and high load ratings are required. Its unique design features a thin, special steel plate outer ring and needle rollers, making it ideal for use with shafts without inner rings. With a relatively high load rating and smallest sectional height among all needle roller bearings, this bearing is perfect for high-speed applications such as in precision machinery, robotics, and automation equipment. Proper lubrication is required, and it's recommended to use with shafts that meet specific surface finish and hardness requirements.
Top product features:
Has smallest sectional height and weight among all needle roller bearings
Has relatively high load ratings
Can be used for high-speed applications due to the retainer and thrust ring guiding the rollers
Iko shell type needle roller bearing inch closed end 1/2 bore 11/16 od .500" width part# bam88 iko shell type needle roller bearing (often called drawn cup) consists of outer ring that is made from accurately drawn thin special steel plate needle rollers and with or without retainer. The shell type needle roller bearings have smallest sectional height and weight among all of needle roller bearings and have relatively high load ratings. Needle roller bearing with retainer can be used for high-speed applications as the retainer and the thrust ring precisely guide the rollers. Shell type needle roller bearings are not provided with pre-packed lubricant. Proper lubrication must be applied when these bearings are used. Shell type needle roller bearings are generally used with shafts without inner rings. 0.2mra or less shaft surface finish and hrc 58 to 64 shaft hardness are recommended. When these requirements are not possible use of iko inner rings are recommended. Accuracy the outer ring of shell type needle roller bearings cannot avoid deformation by heat treatment due to their thin cross sections. It is not appropriate to take a direct measurement on the outer ring. Use standard mounting dimensions shown for shaft and housing diameters. Tolerance of outer ring width is +0 to -0.20 mm.
