B138 Full Complement Shell Type Needle Roller Bearing 13/16x1-1/16x1/2

This B138 full complement drawn cup needle roller bearing has a steel cage and is suitable for applications with high dynamic loads. B138 has a smaller cross-section than a machined needle roller bearing for use in restricted mounting spaces. The needle rollers are made of through-hardened, high-carbon chromium steel for durability and heat tolerance, and have contoured ends to optimize the distribution of contact stress. This B138 Needle Roller Bearing is used in various applications, such as automotive and truck transmissions, agricultural and construction equipment, pumps and compressors, and two-cycle engines, among others.

Rolling bearings use rolling elements to maintain the separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction and support radial and axial loads. These elements can be one of the following types: ball, cylindrical, spherical, barrel, needle, spindle, or tapered. All rolling bearings are open, shielded, or sealed. Sealed and Shielded bearings are lubricated with oil or grease in the bearing factory, while open bearings are meant to be lubricated in place, with periodic reapplication of lubrication, based on use. The shield protects the working parts of the bearing from environmental debris that may be introduced and could reduce the ball bearing speed and lifespan. Rolling bearings are used in a range of applications from agricultural machinery to conveying equipment, electric motors, CNC machinery, trucks, mining equipment, train, robotics, dental equipment, elevators, rolling mills, ship rudder shafts, and aggregate crushers, among others.
