Cylindrical Roller Thrust Bearings

Cylindrical Roller Thrust Bearings are the ones specifically designed to house heavy axial and shock loads. However; subjecting them to radial load is not allowed. With this Cylindrical roller thrust bearings the ends of the rollers are relieved to some extent to alter the line of contact between raceways and rollers. This is done in order to avoid stress peaks at roller ends to prolong bearing service life. They can carry heavy axial loads. Furthermore, they are stiff and oblivious to shock loads and they require little space. They are mainly used in applications where load carrying capacity of thrust ball bearing is inadequate.
