Available with cylindrical or spherical rollers, NSK's thrust roller bearings sustain only axial loads, but they are suitable for heavy loads and have high axial rigidity. 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.When axial loads combine with high speeds, heavy loads or other challenging conditions, Timken thrust bearings deliver optimum performance. We offer a comprehensive range of thrust bearings in standard as well as custom designs, meeting stringent specifications required for nearly any application.Spherical roller thrust bearings achieve high thrust capacity with low friction and continuous roller alignment – even if the shaft and housing become misaligned during operation.
