Axial needle roller

What is a needle roller thrust bearing?

As the name implies, a needle roller thrust bearing is a type of bearing that uses thin cylindrical rollers (called needles) as the main bearing element. These rollers typically have an outside diameter less than half that of the shaft and are therefore able to support large loads or shocks.

What are the advantages of a needle roller thrust bearing?

The main advantage of needle roller bearings is their ability to withstand high loads or shocks. This is due to the small difference in diameter between the needles in the same cage. To reduce the contact pressure on the raceways, the ends of the needles are slightly depressed. This allows them to better withstand high loads without damaging the raceway.

What are the disadvantages of a needle roller thrust bearing?

The main disadvantage of needle roller thrust bearings is that they are not well suited for high-speed applications. This is because the small diameter of the needles limits the amount of lubricant that can be used, which can lead to increased friction and heat at high speeds.

How do I choose a needle roller thrust bearing?

When selecting a needle roller thrust bearing, it is important to consider the following factors:

• The dimensions of the bearing
• The maximum load supported
• The speed of use
