Description
NSK TRE-1018 belongs to needle roller thrust bearing, part of our Bearings range. Tell us how many you need by WhatsApp or email and we'll get back to you promptly with a quote for TRE-1018 and any equivalents.
When axial forces must be handled but mounting height is limited, the NSK TRE series needle thrust bearing is a common choice. Its needle rolling elements keep the cross-section low while still supporting thrust. Typical installations include machine tools, transmission systems and mechanisms that need controlled axial movement. MR Industrial Accessories supplies this series and quotes by part number or size through WhatsApp or email.
The TRE prefix identifies a needle thrust bearing; the digits that follow encode the key dimensions. For instance, TRE-1018, TRE-1220, TRE-1625 and TRE-2233 each represent a different shaft and outer diameter combination. Suffixes, when present, follow NSK nomenclature for cage, sealing or internal clearance variants. Sending the complete designation is the fastest way to confirm the exact size.
These bearings appear in metalworking, automotive, textile and food processing equipment, often in presses, clutches, gearboxes and slewing mechanisms. Their needle configuration suits moderate speeds and one-directional axial loads. The minimal section height allows them to fit into housings where conventional thrust bearings would not.
Selection depends on matching shaft diameter, outer diameter and overall height to the housing. Lubrication is critical: use good-quality oil or grease and verify that the lubrication channel lines up. The support surfaces must be aligned to avoid eccentric loads that shorten service life. If seals are part of the assembly, confirm they do not restrict axial movement.
TRE series bearings can be replaced by equivalents from other manufacturers when the main dimensions and load capacity correspond. Compare tolerances and cage style, not just the part number. If you have a competitor's reference or an unmarked part, MR Industrial Accessories can identify a compatible alternative and provide a quote.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the TRE designation mean in an NSK needle thrust bearing?
- TRE indicates NSK's needle thrust bearing series. The following number, such as in TRE-1018, gives the primary dimensions: shaft diameter and outer diameter. Suffixes may denote cage or sealing options. For help interpreting a specific part number, contact us via WhatsApp.
- Where are TRE series needle thrust bearings used?
- They are found in applications with axial loads and limited space, such as machine tools, clutches, gearboxes and linear motion equipment. Their compact design allows integration into low-height housings.
- How do I request a quote for an NSK TRE needle thrust bearing?
- Send us the full part number (for example, TRE-1220) or the dimensions of your application via WhatsApp or email. MR Industrial Accessories will reply with a quote. If you don't have the part number, we can help identify it from dimensions or the original part.
