Product Overview: The AXK 1024 Thrust Needle Roller Bearing
The AXK 1024 is a high-performance thrust needle roller and cage assembly designed to manage high axial loads in a single direction. With precise dimensions of a 10mm bore diameter, 24mm outer diameter, and a slim 2mm thickness, this bearing offers a compact and rigid solution for applications where space is limited. As a key component in our Thrust Needle Roller Bearings collection, the AXK 1024 is engineered to provide a high degree of stiffness and load-carrying capacity within a minimal axial footprint.
These bearings consist of a cage that retains and guides the needle rollers. For optimal performance, they are typically used with hardened and ground machine components as raceways. However, they can also be combined with AS series thrust washers in applications where adjacent surfaces cannot be suitably hardened. This versatility makes them an essential part in various industrial and automotive systems, ensuring smooth and reliable operation under demanding axial stress. Explore our full range of needle roller bearings to find the perfect solution for your specific needs.
