1.1 This specification covers needle roller bearings having thick outer rings, with rollers and cages.
1.2 The bearings being specified are intended to be used with hardened shafts (HRC58-65; see Test Methods
E18
). For use with unhardened shafts, bearings should be used in conjunction with inner bearing ring MS51962
as specified in Specification
F2431
and shown as MS500072
bearing assemblies in Specification
F2430
.
1.3 The use of recycled materials that meet the requirements of the applicable material specification without jeopardizing the intended use of the item is encouraged.
1.4 Bearings designed to this specification are intended for use in applications requiring high radial load with minimal angular shaft misalignment.
1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
