Reduce friction in your machine's moving parts with this hardwearing thrust needle roller bearing from SKF. A series of smooth cylindrical rollers, fixed in a band around the perimeter, allow the bearing to support the axial thrust of both horizontal and vertical shafts. With a race width of just 2mm, this component is a compact choice that takes up no more space than a conventional thrust washer. It's also lightweight at 5g, so it's easy to handle and won't strain your equipment.

• Steel cage material provides durability and resistance to corrosion for long-term performance
• Maximum speeds of 3,800rpm (rotations per minute) with oil and 2,800rpm with grease to handle high-speed applications
• Static load rating of 47.5kN (kilonewtons) and dynamic load rating of 12kN for heavy-duty use

• Electric motors
• Automotive gearboxes
• Fans

This bearing transfers thrust loads to the shaft, while at the same time preventing the shaft from drifting horizontally or vertically. Thrust bearings are usually positioned against the shaft's elevated collar. The thrust collar is used to transfer axial load from the shaft to the bearing.
