KOYO THRUST NEEDLE ROLLER AND CAGE ASSEMBLIES – METRIC SERIES

On FNT and AXK series thrust needle roller and cage assemblies, the cage bore has a closer tolerance than the outer diameter. Therefore bore piloting is preferred for these assemblies. To reduce wear, it is suggested that the piloting surface for the cage be hardened to an equivalent of at least 55 HRC. Where design requirements prevent bore piloting, the FNT or AXK series thrust needle roller and cage assemblies may be piloted on the outer diameters. For such cases, suitable O.D. piloting dimensions should be determined. Mounting tolerances are given in Table B6-8 on page B-6-10.
