Needle roller thrust bearings are designed to withstand heavy axial and shock loads in one direction. The bearings have high rigidity and low axial clearance. The bearings comprise a needle roller and cage thrust assembly and an axial seating ring with a centring flange. The flange facilitates mounting and precisely centres the housing in the radial direction. In order to withstand combined radial and axial loads, the bearings can be combined with drawn cup needle roller bearings or needle roller bearings with machined rings.

• Higher axial load carrying capacity
• Higher rigidity
• Long service life
• Low axial space requirement
• Separable design
