Needle-Roller Bearings A built -in thrust ball bearing reduces wear from adjacent shaft components, while the needle rollers support high radial loads. Install anywhere you would use separate bearings for radial and thrust loads.

Needle roller thrust bearings provide a high degree of stiffness within a minimum axial space. In applications where the faces of adjacent machine components can serve as raceways, needle roller thrust bearings take up no more space than a conventional thrust washer.
