Needle Thrust Bearing – Fine Bearing for Many Applications

As we all know that bearing is a rolling element, which has capacity to take the responsibility of the whole application. Most of the bearings are divided in two common part ball bearing and roller bearing. These bearing usually contribute to perform three important task like to reduce friction, supports any kind of load, and to provide the guide for moving all the components smoothly such as shaft and wheels.

There are various kinds of bearing available which makes the task easier and providing smooth movement between the components. As per the nature of friction of moving parts these bearingsare divided into many varieties like cylindrical, thrust, tapered, spherical and many more. It all depends on the requirement of the application.

An Important Element of Machinery:

Needle Thrust Bearing is always work in small diameter which is so easy to fit in any kind of application whether it is tiny machinery or big and is supported by rings. It is designed to takes axial load. These bearing accommodate axial load in one or many directions. Needle bearings are used in various applications like automobile machineries aerospace, jets, rocker arm pivots, compressor, water pumps, transmissions in vehicle and so on. These bearing are tiny in shape and lighter in weight. It consists of a stamped or machined cage and roller which is very effective while process. It has more load taking capacity than other bearings.
Needle Bearing Catalogue -

Needle bearing catalogue define the properties of the bearing. These are in alphabetical order and always specified with systematic order as well. Accordingly, in mechanical terms a catalogue defines the details about the product, its quality. description about the bearing with specifications, dimensions etc. Below following are the main features of the Needle bearing:

• Main features
• Details of size with specification
• Material used in bearing
• Series number
• Details about speed rating
• About Form, Number of rows of the rolling elements
• Flexibility details
• Sealing devises
• Manufacturing date
• Its size and model number
• Bearing mounting in details

Needle thrust bearing is very effective and mostly use for tiny application where small surface area is available. As per its utility it is expensive to manufacture it.

From the above description, it clear that Needle thrust bearing has higher temperature resistance power as it is perfect to take axial load as well. The bearing is small in size which is easily fit in the cage. This contribute to simplify problem of misalignment and makes the task smooth and effective. It improves machinery reliability and makes the operation effective.
Being very less in maintenance cost too this type of bearing is mostly preferred.
