Product Overview: The AXK 2035 Thrust Needle Roller Bearing
The AXK 2035 is a high-precision thrust needle roller and cage assembly, designed with principal dimensions of 20mm bore diameter, 35mm outer diameter, and a minimal 2mm thickness. As a key component in our Thrust Needle Roller Bearings range, this assembly is engineered to handle heavy axial (thrust) loads in a single direction. Its compact, low-profile design makes it an excellent choice for applications where radial space is limited but high thrust capacity is essential. These bearings consist of a cage that holds and guides a large number of needle rollers, providing a high degree of stiffness within a small axial space.
The AXK 2035 assembly is designed to be used between two hardened and ground surfaces. For applications where adjacent machine components cannot serve as raceways, it is typically combined with AS series thrust washers. This component is part of our wider selection of Needle Roller Bearings, known for their high performance in demanding industrial environments.
Key Features of the AXK 2035 Bearing
- High Axial Load Capacity: Engineered to support heavy, single-direction thrust loads despite its small size.
- Low Cross-Section: The minimal 2mm thickness allows for extremely compact and space-saving machine designs.
- High Stiffness: The cage and roller design provides excellent rigidity, ensuring stable performance under load.
