Product Overview: The AXK 1528 Thrust Needle Roller Bearing
The AXK 1528 is a high-performance thrust needle roller and cage assembly, designed with compact dimensions of 15x28x2mm. As a key component in our Thrust Needle Roller Bearings collection, it is engineered to handle heavy axial loads in a single direction while occupying minimal space. This bearing consists of a cage that securely holds and guides a large number of needle rollers, ensuring even load distribution and reducing friction between rotating components. Its low-profile design makes it an ideal solution for applications where radial space is limited.
For optimal performance, the AXK 1528 bearing requires adjacent machine components to have hardened and ground surfaces to serve as raceways. Alternatively, it can be combined with AS or LS series thrust washers. This setup provides a rigid, precise, and reliable bearing arrangement suitable for a wide range of industrial and automotive applications. Explore our full range of needle roller bearings to find the perfect solution for your specific needs.
