GATES AX 29 Thrust Needle Roller and Cage Assembly | 29mm Bore High Axial Load Bearing

The GATES AX 29 Thrust Needle Roller and Cage Assembly is engineered for applications demanding maximum axial load capacity within extremely tight spatial constraints. This assembly, often paired with AS or WS washers (not included), utilizes precision-ground, hardened steel needle rollers held securely by a robust, optimized cage. The design minimizes overall axial cross-section while maximizing roller contact area, making it ideal for high-speed rotational environments where strict dimensional control and exceptional stiffness are paramount. It delivers reliable performance in critical industrial power transmission and fluid control mechanisms. Designed to reduce friction and eliminate slipping under peak static and dynamic loads, the AX 29 ensures maximum efficiency and extended service life in demanding machinery. Its high precision rating makes it the preferred choice for OEM installations and critical MRO replacements in gearboxes, screw compressors, machine tool turrets, and high-pressure hydraulic pumps. Choosing the GATES AX 29 guarantees conformity to international quality standards, providing the reliability necessary to sustain continuous operation and minimize expensive downtime.
