Thrust Needle Roller Bearings

What are Thrust Needle Roller Bearings?

Thrust roller bearings are another variant of needle roller bearings that have multiple components which assemble to form one unit. This comprises a needle and a cage that guides and retains the rollers. This bearing can take load in axial direction.

Another unique design aspect of this bearing is, the assembled unit does not have an inner or outer ring unlike other bearings in this category. The heat treated and finished mounting surface can be used as a raceway. These bearings have high rigidity, and very high load capacity despite their small size.

Features of Thrust Needle Roller Bearings

Thrust needle roller bearings are typically needle roller bearings with a cage. Suitable for automobiles, trains, compressors, hydraulic pumps, and other industrial machineries.

  • These bearings come with a two-piece cage, made of high precision-pressed steel which helps the roller glide effortlessly
  • The cage comes with a hardened surface making it suitable for long term wear and tear.
  • These come with raceway washers designed for applications where conventional thrust washers can be replaced.
  • Type of bearing depends on the thicknesses of the raceway washers. So based on the mounting condition of the application, the thickness is chosen.
  • It’s an integrated bearing that is assembled with a cage, appropriate rollers, and applicable raceway.

Advantages of Thrust Needle Roller Bearings

Thrust needle roller bearings ensure a reliable product that has a diverse range of applications across automobiles and other industries. This is attributed to the size, load taking capacity and speed.

  • These bearings offer a compact solution for applications which offer minimal space.
  • Like machine ringed variants, this needle roller bearing also has a high load carrying capacity.
  • The bearings are smooth and offer seamless performance due to high limiting speed.
  • The hardened metal cage ensures superior strength & wear resistance in the long run.
  • They can easily bear heavy axial loads, as well as peak loads owing to the small diameter deviation of the bearings.
  • The roller ends in this variant are slightly relieved to accommodate the friction between raceway and rollers.

    We are delving our feet into the aerospace and defence industries. We consider this as an excellent time to enter this segment, given the present focus is on ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ which will lead to lower import dependency for the companies in these segments. We have been engaged with a number of aerospace businesses and have learnt that there is a lot of room for a local player to proactively work with them from concept to production.
