SKF AXW 30 Needle roller thrust bearing with centring flange, single direction

Needle roller thrust bearings are designed to accommodate heavy axial loads and peak loads in one direction. They provide a high degree of stiffness within a minimum axial space. The bearings consist of a needle roller and cage thrust assembly and a thrust washer with a centring flange. The flange facilitates mounting and accurately centres the washer radially. To accommodate combined radial and axial loads, the bearings can be combined with drawn cup needle roller bearings or needle roller bearings with machined rings.
