Thrust Bearings & Washers

Thrust Bearings & Washers

Thrust needle roller bearings and thrust washers handle axial loads in compact assemblies where standard thrust ball or roller bearings would be too large. AIMS Industrial stocks a comprehensive selection of thrust needle roller components from IKO and Koyo, including complete assemblies, cage and roller sets, and individual shaft and housing washers.

Complete Thrust Needle Roller Bearings

Full-assembly thrust needle roller bearings — AXK and NTB series — consist of a cage-and-roller assembly sandwiched between a shaft washer (WS) and a housing washer (GS). Available in metric dimensions covering a wide bore range, these bearings suit applications such as automatic transmissions, clutch mechanisms, pumps and compressors.

Cage & Roller Assemblies

Cage and roller assemblies (NTA series) can be combined with separately sourced washers where the application requires a custom stack height or where replacing only the rolling element is practical. Polymer cage variants (AXK.TN) reduce weight and inertia in high-speed applications.

Shaft & Housing Washers

Shaft washers (WS inner ring) and housing washers (GS outer ring) are stocked individually for replacement applications and for building custom thrust bearing stacks. Also available: flat-back single-direction thrust ball bearings (51100 series) for lower-load axial positioning applications.
