The FTRA series needle thrust bearing is a component designed to withstand predominantly axial loads in very tight mounting spaces. Its needle and cage construction allows a minimal height and a high load capacity in relation to its size. It is used in applications where other thrust bearings do not fit due to space constraints. MR Accesorios Industriales sells this series in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and quotes it on WhatsApp with the part number you need.
The FTRA series designation is read as a code combining letters and numbers. The letters FTRA identify the needle thrust bearing family. The numbers that follow, as in FTRA-1024, FTRA-1226 or FTRA-2035, indicate mounting dimensions: the first two digits usually correspond to the shaft diameter or bore diameter, and the last two to the outer diameter or overall height, depending on the manufacturer's convention. To correctly interpret each reference, it is essential to consult the corresponding dimension table.
These bearings are used in industries such as automotive, machine tools, metallurgy and food processing, in applications where there is little axial space and considerable thrust loads are required. In Argentina, they are commonly found in gearboxes, clutches, pumps, compressors and lifting equipment. Their ability to withstand axial loads in both directions, together with their low profile, makes them suitable for assemblies where precision and rigidity are important.
To select the right FTRA needle thrust bearing, take into account the shaft diameter, the available outer diameter and the mounting height. It is essential to verify the axial load it must withstand and the lubrication conditions. Installation requires parallel support surfaces with adequate hardness, since the needles bear directly on the shaft and the housing. Correct alignment and proper lubrication extend service life. If you need assistance, contact us.
As for equivalents, FTRA series needle thrust bearings can be interchanged with products from other manufacturers that follow the same dimension standard. However, tolerances and load capacities may vary between brands. Therefore, if you are going to replace a part, it is advisable to send us the original part number or the exact dimensions so we can tell you the compatible alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the FTRA designation mean on a needle thrust bearing?
- FTRA is NSK's needle thrust bearing series. The numbers that follow indicate mounting dimensions, such as bore and outer diameter. For example, FTRA-1024 has a bore diameter of 10 mm and an outer diameter of 24 mm. Always check the dimension table for each reference.
- Where are FTRA needle thrust bearings used?
- They are used in applications with axial loads and limited space, such as gearboxes, clutches, pumps and compressors. In Argentina, they are common in the automotive, metallurgical and machine tool industries. Their low profile allows them to be mounted where other bearings do not fit.
