Needle Roller Thrust Bearings – Axial Thrust Type

Needle Roller Thrust Bearings at Bolton Engineering Products Ltd

Our Needle Roller Thrust Bearings are designed for applications requiring high axial load capacity in a compact space. The bearings feature a form-stable cage that ensures efficient retention and guidance of the needle rollers, providing a high level of stiffness while occupying minimal axial space.

Why Our Needle Roller Thrust Bearings are the Best?

• High Load Capacity – Support considerable axial and peak loads
• Extended Service Life – Roller ends are rounded to minimize stress spikes and more than double bearing life
• Space Efficient − No extra space is needed for adjacent components in compact design
  
• Dependable Action – Perfect holding and support of needle rollers allows quick and smoother operation

Needle Roller Thrust Bearings FAQs

What does needle roller thrust bearing mean?

Roller or needle thrust bearings are used to support axial loads while taking up minimal axial space. The assembly is made up of needle rollers retained in a cage offering high stiffness and reliability.

How do needle roller thrust bearings work?

These bearings use long, thin rollers (needle rollers) that roll on raceways on either side to support axial loads. This enables them to bear heavy loads while occupying minimal space.

When do I need a needle roller thrust bearing?

Because of limited installation space and high axial load capacity requirements, these bearings are widely used in automobiles, machine tools, trucks, trailers, buses and two-wheeled vehicles.

What's the advantage of using a needle roller thrust bearing instead of a thrust washer?

Talk about thrust washers, which have a lower load capacity and service life than needle roller thrust bearings. These are more reliable in heavy-duty application as the design is compact and roller retention is more efficient.
