SKF spherical roller thrust bearings have specially designed raceways and asymmetrical rollers. The bearings can accommodate axial loads acting in one direction and simultaneously acting radial loads. The load is transmitted between the raceways via the rollers at an angle to the bearing axis, while the flange guides the rollers.
A bearing is a machine element that constrains relative motion to only the desired motion, and reduces friction between moving parts. Bearings typically consist of the following components: Two rings, inner and outer, with raceways. Rolling elements – rollers or balls. A cage which keeps the rolling elements spearted and helps guide motion.
Carbon steel materials are used to produce various components of bearings and have two basic types, Medium versus Low Carbon Alloy Steel.
