Bearings in general have a wide array of industry uses. Thrust roller bearings find a lot of use in the automotive industry, but they’re also commonly used in marine, aerospace, agriculture, petroleum, and medical equipment industries.

Common applications for thrust roller bearings include drivetrains, machine tools, compressors, hydraulic pumps and all kinds of industrial machinery, especially machines that involve rotation. Essentially, they’re useful for any application that requires a compact bearing with a high axial load capacity.

In this article, we’ll discuss several aspects of thrust roller bearings, including their design, typical applications, and advantages.

Thrust bearing usagepdf

There are two major types of thrust roller bearings. The primary difference between the two is the roller element that is used in the design.

Thrust roller bearings are compact bearings designed to rotate between parts and reduce friction. They’re built to handle axial loads in both vertical and horizontal shafts, and help prevent shafts from drifting. Typically, they are contained in a two-piece cage which ensures that the rollers glide accurately.

Alemite Grease Guns and Accessories are constructed to withstand the rigors of the most demanding applications. Built using only the highest-grade materials and time-tested designs, Alemite Grease Guns are guaranteed to perform. Alemite offers the widest selection of grease guns on the market.

As previously mentioned, the rollers in thrust bearings can be spherical or cylindrical. The rolling elements are contained within cages and separated by consistently spaced pockets. When the elements roll, they are confined to raceways along a single axis. This prevents them from sliding out of position and causing bearing failure. The cages themselves don’t bear any load; their function is to keep the rollers in place.
