SKF AXK TN thrust needle bearings handle axial loads where space is tight. A polyamide cage and needle rollers provide high load capacity in a low-profile design. Typical uses include transmissions, clutches, and steering mechanisms where axial room is limited.
The part number breaks down simply: AXK indicates a caged thrust needle bearing, and the TN suffix means the cage is made of reinforced polyamide. In examples like AXK 0515 TN or AXK 0821 TN, the digits relate to dimensions, but always confirm exact measurements in the catalog before ordering. This naming lets you quickly identify the component type and its construction.
These bearings appear in automotive, agricultural, and general industrial equipment. They are common in gearboxes, clutch systems, steering columns, and lifting equipment. Their ability to carry axial loads in confined spaces suits applications where other bearings will not fit. Machine tools and precision equipment needing controlled axial movement also use them.
When selecting a thrust needle bearing, consider the axial load, rotational speed, and operating environment. The contact surfaces must be parallel, hardened, and ground, because the bearing does not tolerate misalignment. Grease or oil lubrication helps extend service life. Check axial clearance and make sure adjacent washers, which are not included, are properly retained.
For cross-reference, AXK TN series bearings may appear under similar designations from other brands, but dimensions and load capacity can differ. Verify specifications and tolerances before substituting one brand for another. We can help you check compatibility and options.

Frequently asked questions
- What does the TN suffix mean in the AXK series?
- The TN suffix indicates a cage made of reinforced polyamide. This material offers good wear resistance, allows high speeds, and helps reduce 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 based on the application and load conditions.
- Can I replace an AXK TN bearing from another brand with an SKF one?
- In many cases yes, but verify dimensions and load capacity, as differences between manufacturers may exist. Contact us with the part number or exact measurements to confirm interchangeability.
