What are Thrust Needle Roller Bearings
Thrust needle roller bearings are a type of rolling bearing designed specifically to support axial (thrust) loads—that is, loads parallel to the shaft axis—rather than radial loads. They consist of a cage that holds multiple needle rollers arranged in a circular pattern, often combined with thrust washers for support and load distribution.
