What is the spherical roller thrust bearing？

The spherical roller thrust bearing is a rolling-element bearing of thrust type that permits rotation with low friction and permits angular misalignment. The bearing is designed to take radial loads and heavy axial loads in one direction. Spherical thrust roller bearings contain convex rollers and have a self-aligning capability and are free of any influence of mounting error or shaft deflection. Standard cages are machined brass, where the E-type offers a pressed cage for high load capacity. These are thrust bearings containing convex rollers. They have a self-aligning capability and are free of any influence of mounting error or shaft deflection. Besides the original type, the E type with pressed cages for high load capacity is also available. Their bearing numbers are suffixed by E. For horizontal shafts or high-speed applications, machined brass cages are recommended. Spherical thrust roller bearings carry pure thrust, or axial, loads with little or no radial forces. They use barrel-shaped rolling elements to carry single- or double-direction thrust loads. These rollers have a length perpendicular to the shaft and have different shapes that affect the bearing's efficiency. The two rings on roller thrust bearings, called washers, are also configured with different shapes and designs.

Applications of Spherical thrust roller bearings:

Spherical thrust roller bearings achieve a high thrust capacity with low friction and continuous roller alignment. This bearing type is ideal for operating conditions that experience heavy loads, difficulty in establishing or maintaining housing alignment, or shaft deflection. Spherical thrust roller bearings are widely used in the steel industry, mining & construction, paper-making machinery, wind turbines, machine tools, gearboxes, electric motors, pumps & compressors and injection molding machines.
