Axial needle bearings are complements of small diameter needle
rollers arranged in a spoke-like configuration. Needle rollers are
equally spaced by means of a cage whose web section separates the
rollers and provides guidance to keep them tracking in an orbital
path. The purpose of these assemblies is to transmit thrust loads
between two relatively rotating objects while greatly reducing
friction.
Needle roller and cage thrust assemblies also can be unitized with
lipped washers which serve as raceway surfaces for the needle
rollers. Washers can be supplied separately or can be mechanically
unitized to the needle roller thrust assemblies for easy
handling.
Size range: 6 mm to **0mm (0.***2 in. to 5.***8 in.)
Design Attributes
Dimensions for bore and O.D. of thrust assemblies and washers are
nominal.
Thrust washers burnished at least one quarter of bore area
(remainder is rough breakaway finish).
O.D. finish of washers will be as blanked.
Thinner washers may be out of flat due to distortion in hardening
in the free state (expected to flatten out under load).
Applications
Automotive automatic and manual transmissions
Automotive accessories (compressors, steering gears, etc.)
Agricultural equipment
Construction equipment
