Thrust roller bearings are designed specifically to manage thrust loads and enhance high-shock load resistance within industrial applications. These bearings are of high-speed performance, true rolling motion and application flexibility. 

Because thrust roller bearings can not support radial loads, ball thrust bearings must be used with radial bearings. Even slight misalignments can cause drastic load concentrations, so the thrust bearings must be kept square with the shaft or used with self-aligning seats. However, the ability of the self-aligning seat to follow shaft wobble or misalignments is still quite limited. 

Typical applications: injection molding machines, crane hooks, vertical pumps
