Structure & introduction
Thrust Needle Roller and Cage Assemblies
Overview Thrust needle roller and cage assemblies are complements of small diameter needle rollers, arranged in a spoke-like configuration. Needle rollers are equally spaced by means of a cage, its web section separates the rollers and provides guidance to keep them tracking in an orbital path. The purpose of these assemblies is to transmit a thrust load between two relatively rotating objects while greatly reducing friction.
Thrust needle roller and cage assemblies also can be unitized with lipped washers to serve as raceway surfaces for the needle rollers. Washers can be supplied separately or can be mechanically unitized to the thrust needle roller and cage assemblies for ease of handling. Catalogue range: 5 mm 240 mm (0.1969 in 9.4488 in). Markets: Automotive automatic and manual transmissions, automotive accessories (compressors, steering gears, etc.) agricultural and construction equipment. Features: One-way fool-proof assembly features, anti-rotation locking features and lubrication flow enhancements.
Benefits: High-speed performance and application flexibility.
SPECIAL DESIGNS
Thrust needle roller and cage assemblies and thrust washers are made to special dimensions and configurations, as well as from special materials when quantities permit economical manufacture.
Thrust needle roller and cage assemblies are particularly adaptable to low-cost integral combination with special thrust washers. When the use of such special designs is considered, the following pages should be reviewed for evaluation of proposed arrangements.
