Need a stable bearing that can fit into a small axial space? This SKF thrust needle roller bearing is compact and delivers a high degree of stiffness. The rollers have axes that are perpendicular to the shaft of the bearing's bore, making it suitable for supporting heavy axial and shock loads. When used in applications where the faces of adjacent machine components can serve as raceways, it takes up no more space than a conventional thrust washer.

• Parallel bore means it can be mounted directly onto a shaft without the need for an adapter sleeve
• Sheet steel cage material combines strength with light weight
• The parallel bore means it can be mounted directly onto a shaft without the need for an adapter sleeve
• Maximum speed of 1100rpm with grease or 1600rpm with oil means it can support fairly high rotational speeds

• Automatic transmissions
• Pulp and paper processing

No. Although needle roller thrust bearings can accommodate very high axial and shock loads, they can't be used to support radial loads of any kind.
