SKF tapered roller thrust bearings are designed to accommodate heavy axial loads and peak loads. The bearings are very stiff and require little axial space. Bearings are “parts that assist objects’ rotation”. They support the shaft that rotates inside the machinery. Machines that use bearings include automobiles, airplanes, electric generators and so on.
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.
