AS2035 Needle Thrust Bearings

Needle thrust bearings are compact axial rolling bearings that use cylindrical rollers with a length-to-diameter ratio of at least 3:1. These bearings are designed to support axial loads in one direction while occupying minimal axial space.

Common applications include automotive transmissions, machine tool spindles, gearboxes, and pumps where axial space is limited and pure thrust loads must be accommodated. They are typically used in combination with radial bearings in assemblies requiring support of both radial and axial loads.
