Cylindrical roller thrust bearings can withstand heavy axial loads and impact loads. Such bearings must not bear any radial load. The bearings are highly rigid and require little axial space.
This means that the shaft washer, seat washer and cylindrical roller-cage assembly can be installed separately.
Extend bearing life
To prevent stress peaks, the ends of the needle roller are slightly contracted to change the line contact between the raceway and the needle roller.
