NKX40Z

The NKX40Z is a needle thrust bearing featuring a compact axial design with needle rollers arranged to carry thrust loads in one direction. This bearing type includes integrated raceways and provides high load capacity in a minimal axial space envelope.

Needle thrust bearings are commonly used in automotive transmissions, machine tool spindles, gearboxes, and other applications where space is limited and high axial load capacity is required. They are particularly suited for applications with oscillating or slow rotational speeds under heavy thrust loads.
