Compact stiffness: Needle Roller Thrust Bearings provide stiffness in a small axial space, making them suitable for use in confined areas. The crosssection is smaller than standard thrust bearings, delivering compactness without compromising performance. Hardened polished washers: Made from hardened spring steel, the washers have polished faces that can serve as raceways. This design ensures durability and smooth operation over time. Heavy load capability: These bearings are able to accommodate heavy axial loads and peak loads due to the small diameter deviation of the rollers within the assembly, delivering reliable performance under demanding conditions. Washer based installation: Thrust bearings can be paired with washers when adjacent components cannot serve as raceways. This provides versatile installation options for a variety of configurations. Key attributes Function: support axial loads with stiffness in a compact form factor. Compatibility: suitable for use with washers when raceways are not provided by neighboring parts. Size and form: compact crosssection with a minimal axial footprint. Material: hardened spring steel washers with polished faces used as raceways. Performance: reliable load and stiffness operation in constrained spaces. Applications and use scenarios Confined linear actuators and guide systems in automation where axial space is limited. Small robotic joints or precision servo actuator assemblies requiring compact thrust support. Gearboxes or transmission assemblies where adjacent components cannot provide raceways, enabling washerbased installation.
