Thrust spherical roller bearings are suitable for large axial loads in one direction and they can also sustain some radial load. These radial loads must not be higher than 55% of the axial load. These bearings are only suitable for low speeds.

The bearings are separable, have a self-aligning capability and are free of any influence from mounting error or shaft deflection. At higher speeds it is necessary to apply some axial load to thrust bearings.

Bearing series: 292.., 293.., 294..

Spherical roller thrust bearings are able to carry high axial load. Because of their construction with spherical raceways and transmission of load at a certain angle they can carry radial load as well. They are dismountable which allows simpler installation of individual rings into the arrangement.

Design of the individual parts of the spherical roller thrust bearings allows in operation certain mutual misalignment of the rings against each other. In this way the spherical roller thrust bearings are able to eliminate certain deflection of the connecting parts.

Spherical roller thrust bearings have a great number of asymmetrical spherical rollers with a good conformity to the raceway and therefore they are able to carry high axial load.

Spherical roller thrust bearings can be applied in arrangements with high demands for load forces transfer, e.g. shaping machines, cranes, ship’s shaft, mining machines, etc.
