KWIK-WAY Needle Roller Thrust Bearing

This is a replacement part for the V-Block assembly on the Kwik-Way SVSII Deluxe Valve Refacer.

¾” ID (Inner Diameter) Needle Roller Thrust Bearings are a specific type of bearing used in various mechanical applications. Here’s some general information about them:

1. Design: These bearings consist of small cylindrical rollers (needles) arranged in a flat assembly, designed to handle axial loads (thrust forces).

2. Size: The ¾” (19.05 mm) inner diameter refers to the size of the shaft it’s designed to fit around.

3. Load capacity: Needle roller thrust bearings can handle high axial loads in a compact space due to the line contact between the rollers and the races.

4. Speed: They’re suitable for moderate to high-speed applications, depending on the specific design and lubrication.

5. Applications: Common uses include automotive transmissions, industrial gearboxes, pumps, and other machinery where axial loads need to be supported in a limited space.

6. Advantages:

   • High load capacity for their size
   • Low friction
   • Compact axial design

7. Materials: Typically made from hardened steel for durability.

8. Lubrication: Proper lubrication is crucial for optimal performance and longevity.

9. Varieties: They can come in different configurations, such as with or without washers, and in different load ratings.

10. Installation: Proper installation is critical to prevent damage and ensure correct operation.
