Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings

Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings: Characteristics, Manufacturing Processes, and Application Guidelines Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings (SRTB) are large-sized bearings that integrate heavy axial load-bearing capacity and self-aligning functionality. Suitable for working conditions with shaft misalignment, they are widely used in the heavy equipment field and feature significant performance and application value. Product advantages focus on heavy-load adaptation and misalignment compensation. First, they have extremely strong axial load-bearing capacity. The line-contact design between spherical rollers and spherical raceways gives them a load-bearing capacity 3-5 times that of thrust ball bearings, enabling them to withstand axial loads at the thousands-of-kilonewtons level. Second, they possess excellent self-aligning capability. The spherical rollers can compensate for 2°-3° of installation misalignment or shaft bending, avoiding local stress concentration. Third, they have good imp…
