Double direction cylindrical roller thrust bearings
Double direction cylindrical roller thrust bearings are composed of two housing washers (GS), a shaft washer (WS) and two cage-roller assemblies. These bearings are characterized by a very high load carrying capacity and high stiffness. They can accommodate axial loads in both directions, but cannot withstand radial forces and tilting moments.
Main types
-
Type WS+GS
- Flat housing washers
- Separable components unit: shaft washers (WS) plus housing washers (GS)
- Two-piece machined brass cage (M) guided on rollers
- Sensitive to misalignments
- Supports very high bidirectional axial loads
