The NTA 1018 RICH is a high-precision Axial Needle Roller and Cage Assembly specifically engineered for thrust applications where high load capacity and minimal axial space are critical. Manufactured by RICH, this assembly features metric dimensions of 15.88 x 28.58 x 1.98 mm.
The component consists of a robust steel cage that guides and retains a large number of hardened needle rollers. This design provides the highest possible load-carrying capability for a given axial cross-section. The very small axial height of the assembly makes it ideal for integrating into gearboxes, automotive transmissions, and compact industrial machinery. The NTA 1018 RICH must be used with hardened and ground raceways, typically provided by companion thrust washers (AS series) or suitably hardened adjacent machine components.
