Needle roller cages according to DIN 5405-1/ISO 3030 are single or double-row assemblies consisting of cages and needle rollers. The single-row version is based on DIN 5405-1. Since their radial height corresponds only to the diameter of the needle rollers, needle roller cages allow for bearing arrangements with minimal radial space requirements. They are highly load-bearing, suitable for high speeds, and particularly easy to assemble. With precisely shaped raceways, bearings with high roundness accuracy can be achieved. The radial clearance is influenced by the type of needle rollers as well as the tolerances of the shaft and housing. Needle roller cages require that the raceway on the shaft and in the housing is hardened and ground. Double-row needle roller cages are available only in specific outer diameters and are marked with the designation ZW.
