Drawn cup needle roller bearings with or without closed end, do not use a lubricant insofar as only one preservative is used prior to its assembly: these are generally used with a closed end in cases where one end of the shaft needs to be closed.Rawn cup needle roller bearing with a closed end for shaft end applications with high dynamic loads Drawn steel outer shell (cup) has a reduced cross-section for use in restricted spaces Full complement of rollers for greater load capacity than caged bearings.

Since cup needle roller bearings are enclosed on one side they are suitable for forming the end of bearing groups at shaft ends. The bearing is protected against dirt and moisture thanks to the floor (in other words the enclosed side) and can even withstand low axial guidance forces .
