Needle Roller Thrust Bearings

Needle thrust bearings have a cage with stable form, it can gudie and retain a large number of needle rollers. The diameter deviations of the rollers within one assembly are within 2 µm, therefore the bearing can bear the heavy axial loads and shock loads. This kind of bearings is in possession of a high degree of stiffness and a minimum axial space.

In applications where the faces of adjacent machine components can serve as raceways, needle roller thrust bearings will take up no more space than a conventional thrust washer. They can accommodate axial loads acting in one direction only,
