SKF needle roller thrust bearings are fitted with a form-stable cage to reliably retain and guide a large number of needle rollers. 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.
Bearings are “parts that assist objects’ rotation”. They support the shaft that rotates inside the machinery. Machines that use bearings include automobiles, airplanes, electric generators and so on.
A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts. Bearings typically consist of the following components: Two rings, inner and outer, with raceways. Rolling elements – rollers or balls. A cage which keeps the rolling elements spearted and helps guide motion.
