Thrust Bearings

TAPERED ROLLER BEARINGS

Tapered roller bearings are mainly used in rotating components where there is a combination of radial and thrust loads.

The tapered roller bearing consists of four components,

• the cone (inner ring)
• the cup (outer ring)
• tapered rollers (rolling elements) and
• the cage (roller retainer).

The inner and outer ring raceways are segments of cones and the roller are tapered. This conical geometry created a linear contact path which permits greater loads to be carried than with spherical or ball bearings.

The wide range of JSB larger diameter tapered bearings are manufactured with quality,reliability and are innovative design.

VERTICAL SHAFT THRUST BEARINGS

Typically, thrust bearings are placed against a raised thrust collar around a shaft. The thrust collar permits the transference of the axial load from the shaft to the bearing. In most situations, thrust collars are used in pairs, situated on either side of the thrust collar.
Thrust bearings are generally composed of two washers or raceways, along with the rolling elements; however, there are various types of thrust bearings available to suit the needs of different applications. One common type of thrust bearing is thrust ball bearings, which contain small metal balls around the perimeter to assist with the rotation of a machine’s moving parts.

THEIR BENEFITS INCLUDE:

• High reliability
• High load capacity
• Withstands harsh environments
• Easy mounting and dismounting
• Various types to suit different needs
• Lowest friction of all rotary bearings
• Runs cool at high speeds
