A quill bearing is a bearing that instead of having roller bearings, it has long thin rollers shaped like a toothpick. They are commonly used in transmissions and power machinery. It is basically a "needle bearing". The bearing has a hard outer shell which is considered the outer race, a series of needle bearings inside the shell that usually ride directly on a hardened shaft, therefore not needing a inner race as a typical roller bearing has.
