A Spherical Roller Thrust Bearing is a bearing that utilizes barrel shaped rollers to manage extreme thrust loads while rotating with low friction and allowing for some angular misalignment. There are two basic designs. A conventional “E-Type” design uses a machined brass cages while the “EX-Type” design uses an optimized internal design, larger rollers and a stamped steel cage for higher loads and longer life. Spherical roller thrust bearings are used mostly in heavy-duty industrial applications where heavy axial or shock loads exist. They are commonly used in gearboxes, extruders, pumps, screw conveyors, marine propulsion and drilling equipment. - Improved roller roundness and raceway accuracy - Reduced noise and vibration - Cages are Stamped Steel (EX) for extra capacity or Machined Brass (E) - Self-aligning and can accommodate low and high speeds - Long life - Low operating temperature
