Cylindrical roller thrust bearings are designed to accommodate heavy axial loads and impact loads. They must not be subjected to any radial load. The bearings are very stiff and require little axial space.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. A cylindrical roller thrust bearing is a particular type of roller bearing. Like other roller bearings, they permit rotation between parts.

Cylindrical Roller Bearings each consist of an axial cage with cylindrical rollers and 2 thrust washers. They help provide increased thrust capacity, and support axial loads in 1 direction. Models with glass-fiber reinforced polyamide retainers help to facilitate quiet operation.Cylindrical roller thrust bearings, as a complete unit, consist of an axial cage with cylindrical rollers and two thrust washers. These cylindrical roller bearings help provide increased thrust capacity and support axial loads in one direction. To help facilitate quiet operation, these bearings feature a glass-fiber reinforced polyamide retainer.
