Axial Needle Roller and Cage Assemblies

Axial Needle Roller and Cage Assemblies are specific bearing components used in axial bearings to effectively support and transmit high axial loads. They consist of dimensionally stable plastic or metal cages equipped with numerous needle rollers. These needle rollers are arranged axially between the raceways of the disc and enable a compact design with a small space requirement in the axial direction.

Axial needle roller and cage assemblies are used in various situations where radial loads do not have to be considered. Their high axial load carrying capacity and rigidity make them ideal for applications with high axial forces on one side.

Typical applications for axial needle roller and cage assemblies include gearboxes, shaft bearings, couplings, ball screws and high-performance motors. They provide reliable support and transmission of high axial loads, which in turn contributes to the efficient operation of these applications.
