ABSTRACT:
A unitary, axially self-locating needle bearing which may be of the drawn shell type has an inner race having a crimped flange projecting radially outwardly from the inner race, an outer race having a flange projecting radially inwardly at either end of the outer race, and a plurality of needle rollers held in a cage contained between the drawn inner race and the drawn outer race. The flange on the inner race axially locates the inner race with respect to the outer race. The crimp forms a radially outwardly projecting flange on the inner race positioned between one end of the caged needle rollers and one of the inwardly projecting flanges of the outer race. The other inwardly projecting flange of the outer race is positioned at the other end of the caged needle rollers.
