Thrust roller bearings are preferred for axial load applications because they provide higher stiffness than other types.
There are three types of thrust roller bearings:
1. Cylindrical roller thrust bearing
Tapered roller thrust bearing
Spherical roller thrust bearing
Spherical roller thrust bearing is a kind of self-aligning bearing.In use, it allows a maximum axial deviation of about 2 degrees.The contact Angle helps this type of bearing handle a small amount of radial load.
Lubrication of these bearings requires care as their large sliding contact area can lead to smudging.Care shall be taken to keep the bearing at a minimum rated load to avoid fouling.
We can provide the following variants:
Unidirectional spherical roller thrust bearings -292, 293 and 294 series
Pressed steel and machined brass cages
Standard precision P0 and higher precision P6.
