The spherical roller thrust bearings are specifically designed for radial load accommodation as well as acting axial loads. They transmit load from one raceway to another at an angle to the bearing axis.
The units require radial loads to be lower than 55% the axial load. They are equipped with self-aligning function to be independent from shaft deflection and misalignment of the shaft in relation to the casing.
The bearings are suitable for use in various applications such as hydro-electric machine, vertical motor, marine propeller shaft, crane, plastic injection type extrusion machine, and planetary gearboxes.
