Small-diameter rollers provide a compact radial section; some designs run directly on a prepared shaft.
Search 3,031 source-labelled records. Start with the construction, then enter the dimensions you know. A diameter under rollers Fw is not the bore d of an inner ring; a cage outside Ew is not an outer-ring D.
Fw is the diameter under rollers; C is the drawn-cup width. Not a ring-bore d.
Filters update immediately. Designation search ignores separators, but the full recorded marking remains in each result. Changing construction clears dimensional filters because their meanings can change. Changing units converts valid entered dimensions, not the physical size. Inch display is converted and rounded to six decimals; the source-series filter is separate.

No verified record matches these conditions in this snapshot. No nearby size is substituted. Check the marking, units and construction; absence here is not proof that a part does not exist.
Scope: manufacturer-property snapshot 2026-10-03. This chart is not the entire manufacturer range, stock availability, a toleranced drawing or fitment approval. Separate rings, washers, clutches and combined/conical units are not included. Records without unambiguous source dimensions remain outside the table. Technical basis: NSK needle-bearing construction guidance, JTEKT needle-bearing classification tables and each retained product property.
Needle roller bearings use long, small-diameter rollers to provide rolling contact in a compact section. Radial needle bearings and axial needle roller assemblies carry load in different directions and must not be treated as the same construction.
| Part or design | What it does | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Drawn cup | A thin formed outer ring provides the raceway. | Check the required housing support and fit. |
| Solid ring | A machined ring has its own mounting dimensions. | The same shaft diameter does not make it interchangeable with a drawn cup. |
| Cage assembly / no inner ring | Some designs run on a prepared shaft raceway. | The shaft surface becomes a bearing component, not just a mounting seat. |
On a small screen, scroll the table horizontally to read all three columns.
Caged and full-complement versions have different speed and load characteristics. An inner ring, seals and axial-guidance components may be present or absent; preserve that distinction in the full designation.
Removing the inner ring is not a general space-saving modification. Designs that run directly on a shaft need the specified raceway hardness, finish and geometry.
Technical reference basis: NSK: Needle Roller Bearings. Explanation and lookup workflow: BearingScope. Manufacturer-specific limits remain attached to the exact product record.
A needle-bearing query may describe a complete radial bearing, a cage assembly, a thrust assembly or only loose rollers. Identify that scope before comparing dimensions or looking for an inner ring.
| Construction | What is supplied | Key distinction |
|---|---|---|
| Drawn cup / shell type | Thin formed outer race with rollers | Housing support and the specified press fit are part of the installation. |
| Solid / machined ring | A thicker machined outer ring | Do not substitute a thin shell solely because the bore agrees. |
| Cage and needle assembly | Cage and rollers without conventional raceway rings | Adjacent shaft and housing surfaces may form the raceways. |
| Needle roller thrust assembly | Axial roller/cage assembly, with or without specified washers | An axial assembly is not a radial needle bearing. |
| Track roller / cam follower | A track-running outer ring and the specified mounting structure | Identify stud or yoke arrangement and track contact separately. |
| Drawn-cup roller clutch | A directional locking mechanism | Torque and overrun direction differ from ordinary radial-bearing duty. |
On a small screen, scroll the table horizontally.
Radial and axial refer to force relative to the shaft. A part being able to rotate in either direction does not establish axial load capacity.
A needle bearing without an inner ring can run directly on a suitably prepared shaft raceway. If that shaft cannot provide the required hardened, finished raceway, a compatible inner ring may be needed. IKO supplies separately identified rings for this purpose.
An ordinary shaft sleeve is not automatically a bearing raceway. Confirm the inner ring's outside raceway diameter, width, chamfers, lubrication features and match to the needle assembly. Its inside diameter describes the shaft seat, not the needle complement's inscribed-circle diameter.
First identify the component you are measuring. A bare roller's diameter and length do not identify a complete bearing. A bearing without an inner ring needs its drawing's roller-envelope dimension; a complete bearing with an inner ring also has a shaft-bore dimension.
| Item | Record | Avoid confusing it with |
|---|---|---|
| Complete radial bearing with inner ring | Bore, outside diameter, overall width and full marking | A separate inner-ring part number. |
| Radial bearing without inner ring | Inscribed-circle / shaft-raceway dimension, outer dimension and width | The outside diameter of a fitted sleeve. |
| Drawn cup | Catalogue nominal dimensions and cup construction | A squeezed or distorted loose-shell reading as a certified fit tolerance. |
| Axial assembly | Inside diameter, outside diameter and axial height; washer scope | Radial-bearing width or the height without required washers. |
| Loose needles | Roller diameter, length and end/profile specification | A complete bearing's d×D×B. |
On a small screen, scroll the table horizontally.
Keep metric and inch series explicit. Convert units using 1 in = 25.4 mm, but do not round an imperial measurement to the nearest metric model and declare it equivalent. Nominal size is not manufacturing tolerance.
A cage spaces and guides the rollers. A full-complement construction packs more rollers into the available space, changing the load/speed trade-off. The correct choice depends on the documented duty, not on which design visibly contains more metal.
Open-end and closed-end shell variants are separate constructions; closed-end does not mean a universal two-sided contact seal. IKO lists both metric and inch shell families. Preserve the entire series and closure description rather than translating every closed form into '2RS'.
Sealed, stainless, plastic-cage and split-cage requests require their own material and design records. This guide does not assign those features to every needle bearing.
Needle rollers are useful where radial space is restricted. Manufacturer examples include gears, speed reducers and selected machine-tool arrangements; thrust needle assemblies also appear in compact axial supports. A compact section does not remove the need for suitable raceways and lubrication.
| Need | Useful starting point | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| Compact radial support | Drawn cup, solid needle bearing or cage assembly | That all three use the same shaft or housing preparation. |
| Compact axial support | Needle thrust assembly and required race washers | That a radial needle bearing carries the same axial duty. |
| External cam or track contact | Cam follower or roller follower | That an ordinary radial outer ring is a suitable track roller. |
| One-way drive or backstop | A documented roller clutch | That any needle bearing provides directional locking. |
On a small screen, scroll the table horizontally.
Against a ball bearing, compare the available radial section, raceway scope and required load directions. Against another roller design, compare actual ratings and installation space; the word 'needle' is not a performance grade. Vehicle, chainsaw, bicycle and transmission fitment still requires the specific equipment and part record.
Choose by the contact system and support requirements, not by the shared outside dimensions. Needle bearings offer a compact radial section; a plain bushing uses sliding contact instead of rolling elements.
| Decision | Needle roller bearing | Ball bearing / plain bushing |
|---|---|---|
| Contact | Slender rollers run on defined raceways. | Balls roll on raceways; a bushing has a sliding interface. |
| Radial space | A low-section option where a suitable shaft raceway or inner ring is available. | Compare the complete ball-bearing envelope; for a bushing include its wall and running clearance. |
| Axial support | A radial needle design is not a thrust assembly. | Ball-bearing axial capacity depends on family; a plain bush needs its specified flange or thrust surface for axial duty. |
| Lubrication decision | Use the lubricant and delivery method for the roller/raceway duty. | Ball bearings also need their specified lubrication; bushings differ by material and may use supplied lubrication or an external film. |
| Replacement check | Preserve raceway finish, hardness, fit, clearance and the verified load/speed limits. | Changing from rolling to sliding contact is a redesign, not an automatic cross-reference. |
On a small screen, scroll the table horizontally.
For a general cylindrical-roller alternative, compare rib arrangement and complete radial envelope. Neither 'roller' nor 'needle' guarantees a higher permitted speed or a drop-in replacement.
This checklist helps identify missing assembly information. Exact press tools, fits and extraction methods differ between a thin shell, machined ring, loose needle set and thrust assembly.
A generic size chart cannot supply a Toyota differential extraction procedure, chainsaw grease specification or bicycle shock-kit compatibility. Those remain equipment-specific requests.
Needle bearings belong to the roller-bearing group and use slender rollers. The family still includes different radial and axial constructions, not one interchangeable part.
No. Roller dimensions, grade, end profile, quantity, cage and raceway design all matter. A bag of similarly sized rollers does not verify an assembled bearing.
They need the lubrication specified for the design and duty; some arrangements use oil rather than grease. Assembly grease used to retain loose rollers is not automatically the required service lubricant.
That changes rolling contact to sliding contact and can alter clearance, lubrication, friction and load capacity. Matching dimensions alone does not approve the redesign.

A loose thin cup is not a reliable basis for judging the final running bore. IKO specifies a gauge-ring and plug/taper-gauge method for its shell bearings because the cup can deform. Its measurement method must not be replaced with a loose caliper reading and a guessed clearance.
The chart above is not a universal housing tolerance, shaft tolerance or press-fit recommendation.
Leave unknown fields visibly unknown. For example, a B1616 query must not silently become an IKO BA 1616 Z record; the similar number is a lead for research, not a verified relationship. Likewise, a matching HK envelope does not settle a vehicle or machine fitment.
