Cylindrical roller thrust bearings

Cylindrical roller thrust bearings – maximum axial load capacity and rigidity

Cylindrical roller thrust bearings are specialized rolling components designed to accommodate very heavy axial loads, including heavy shock loads. Due to their design, these bearings are exceptionally rigid and occupy relatively little axial space; however, they are not intended to transmit any radial loads. In the e-marat.pl product range, you will find solutions perfectly suited for heavy-duty industrial applications.

Depending on the system configuration, these bearings are available in two variants:

• Single-direction – accommodating axial loads acting in one direction only, consisting of a cylindrical roller and cage thrust assembly (K) along with shaft (WS) and housing (GS) washers.
• Double-direction – capable of absorbing forces from both directions by utilizing an intermediate washer (ZS).

Design and mounting variants

A standard cylindrical roller thrust bearing features a modular design. In applications where minimizing the dimensions of the bearing arrangement is critical, the roller and cage thrust assemblies can run directly on hardened and ground machinery surfaces. As an alternative to thick washers, thin AS washers (1 mm) made of hardened spring steel can be used, which perform well where rotation accuracy requirements are less stringent.

It must be noted that cylindrical roller thrust bearings require perfectly perpendicular alignment relative to the shaft axis. Any misalignment of the shaft with respect to the housing is unacceptable and can lead to premature component wear.
