BEARING MART
Overview
Long thin rollers give a needle bearing a very high load rating for the space it occupies, which is why designers reach for them where the radial section is tight — gudgeon pins, universal joints, gearbox layshafts and pivot linkages.

Why buy it here
We buy direct from our manufacturing partners, so the price on standard sizes is set at the factory end rather than after three local margins. Stock sits in Dragon Mart 1 twelve hours a day, six days a week, and single pieces are sold on the same terms as cartons.
Not sure which variant you need? Send a photo of the failed part on WhatsApp. The markings on the outer ring — or the bore, outside diameter and width — are enough to identify it.
Areas we serve
Collection from Dragon Mart 1, International City. We supply workshops across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, and arrange courier delivery within the UAE.
Questions
Only if the shaft is not hardened and ground. A needle bearing can run directly on the shaft if it is hard enough and finished to the right tolerance; otherwise fit the matching inner ring.
The stamped, closed end of the cup faces the load side and the press tool must bear on the marked face only. Pressing on the open end will collapse the cup.
A drawn cup needle bearing with a closed end, used where the shaft ends inside the housing and you want the bore sealed off.
Other bearing types

The workhorse. Radial loads, high speed, sealed or shielded.
