Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings
- The raceway of housing washer of this bearing type is spherical with the center of the radius located on the bearing axis. The design provides self-alignment capability to the bearing. The contact angle (α) is approximately 45° enabling the bearing to support axial load and a small to moderate amount of radial load.
- This bearing type is often used for injection molding machines, crane hooks and other large machines.
