AS85110 Needle Thrust Bearing

Needle thrust bearings are compact axial load bearing assemblies that use small cylindrical rollers (needles) to support thrust loads in a minimal axial space. These bearings consist of needle roller and race assemblies or washers, designed to handle unidirectional or bidirectional axial forces while maintaining a low profile.

Typical applications include automotive transmissions, gear reducers, machine tool spindles, and pumps where space is limited and thrust loads must be supported. They are commonly used in conjunction with radial bearings in assemblies requiring both radial and axial load support.
