A double-walled bearing cup has an inner cup portion and an outer cup portion fixed over the inner cup portion. Abutment portions of the bearing cup are engageable with a retaining washer, which is positioned within the bearing cup and adapted to be fixed over a shaft, to limit axial movement of the bearing cup relative to the shaft. Rolling members positioned within the bearing cup are engageable directly with the shaft such that the bearing cup may freely rotate with respect to the shaft. The bearing cup may have an open, closed, or tapered end to facilitate use of the bearing assembly in various applications.
