Product Overview: The HK 1015 Drawn Cup Needle Roller Bearing
The HK 1015 is a high-performance drawn cup needle roller bearing, designed for applications requiring a compact and lightweight solution with high radial load capacity. With key dimensions of 10mm Bore Diameter, 14mm Outer Diameter, and 15mm Thickness, this bearing features a thin-walled, drawn outer cup that serves as the raceway for the needle rollers. This design is part of our extensive Drawn Cup Bearings collection, a subset of Needle Roller Bearings. The HK 1015 is press-fitted into the housing, which simplifies the design and assembly process by eliminating the need for retaining shoulders or snap rings. Its open-end construction allows for shafts to pass through the bearing, making it versatile for various industrial and automotive applications.
