Cylindrical Roller Thrust Bearing Series

A cylindrical roller thrust bearing is a particular type of roller bearing. Like other roller bearings, they permit rotation between parts, but they are designed to support a high axial load while doing this (parallel to the shaft). Higher speed applications require oil lubrication. Generally, they are composed of two washers and cylindrical roller elements, which are typically caged. As opposed to ball thrust bearings, roller thrust bearings generally operate at lower speeds but at higher applied loads.
