Description

Cylindrical roller thrust bearing and tapered roller thrust bearings are separable and can carry heavy axial loads. Furthermore, they are stiff and insensitive to shock loads, and they require little space. They are single directions bearings and can only accommodate axial load in one direction. Their main use is in applications where the load carrying capacity of thrust ball bearing is inadequate

These bearings consist for rings with raceways (shaft washer and housing washer) and cylindrical rollers and the cage assembly. The contour surface of the cylindrical rollers makes the even distribution of the pressure between the rollers and rolling surfaces. They can carry axial load in single direction. The greater the load carrying capacity, the bigger the rigidity in the axial direction
