AX-Thrust needle roller and cage assemblies

Thrust needle roller and cage assemblies comprise plastic or metal axial cages with integrated needle rollers and have a very small axial section height. They can support high axial forces in one direction. Radial loads must be supported by separate means. Thrust needle roller and cage assemblies require hardened and ground axial running surfaces for use as raceways. They are applied in automobile gearbox, power transmission system, steering gear, power tools, sewing machine, outboard engine, etc .
