SKF AXK TN series thrust needle bearings are components designed to support axial loads in tight spaces. Their construction with a polyamide cage and needles allows high load capacity in a very low profile. They are used in applications where axial space is limited and reliable performance is required, such as in transmissions, clutches and steering mechanisms. At MR Accesorios Industriales we carry them as part of our SKF bearing line.

The designation of the AXK TN series is interpreted as follows: the letters AXK identify a thrust needle bearing with a cage, and the TN suffix indicates that the cage is made of reinforced polyamide. The numbers appearing in examples such as AXK 0515 TN or AXK 0821 TN refer to the bearing dimensions, although these numbers should not be confused with specific measurements without consulting the catalog. This nomenclature allows quick identification of the component type and its construction.

These bearings are used in industries such as automotive, agricultural machinery and general industry. In Argentina, they are commonly found in gearboxes, clutch systems, steering columns and lifting equipment. Their ability to support axial loads in confined spaces makes them ideal for applications where other bearings do not fit. They are also used in machine tools and precision equipment requiring controlled axial movement.

To correctly select a thrust needle bearing, it is essential to consider the axial load it must support, the rotational speed and the environmental conditions. Installation requires that the contact surfaces be parallel and hardened and ground, since the bearing does not tolerate misalignment. Proper lubrication, whether with grease or oil, extends service life. Additionally, axial clearance must be verified and correct retention of the adjacent washers, which are not included with this component, must be ensured.

Regarding equivalences and interchangeability, AXK TN series thrust needle bearings can be found under similar designations from other brands, although they are not always identical in dimensions or load capacity. It is advisable to verify technical specifications and tolerances before replacing one bearing with another of a different brand. At MR Accesorios Industriales we can advise you on compatibility and available options.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the TN suffix mean in the AXK series?
The TN suffix indicates that the bearing cage is made of reinforced polyamide. This material offers good wear resistance and allows high speeds, while also contributing to a reduced component weight.
Does this bearing include the contact washers?
No, AXK TN series thrust needle bearings are generally supplied without washers. The adjacent washers must be selected separately according to the application and load conditions.
Can I replace an AXK TN bearing from another brand with an SKF one?
In many cases yes, but it is important to verify dimensions and load capacity, as differences between manufacturers may exist. We recommend consulting us with the part number or exact measurements to confirm interchangeability.
