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.

SKF needle roller and cage assemblies are self­-contained, ready-­to­-mount bearings. In applications where the shaft and housing bore can serve as raceways, the assemblies can be used to create bearing arrangements that require minimal radial space.

Since 2005, SKF has worked to reduce the negative environmental impact from our operations and those of our suppliers. Our continuing technology development resulted in the introduction of the SKF BeyondZero portfolio of prod ucts and services which improve efficiency and reduce energy losses, as well as enable new technol ogies harnessing wind, solar and ocean power. This combined approach helps reduce the en vir on mental impact both in our operations and our customers’ oper ations.
