Most of the LYC thrust roller bearings are separable which make it very convenient to mount and dismount. Furthermore this type of bearings is stiff and insensitive to shock loads. They require little space. They are mainly used is in applications where the load carrying capacity of thrust ball bearing is inadequate.

LYC thrust roller bearings are divided into cylindrical roller thrust bearings taper roller thrust bearings spherical roller thrust bearings and needle roller thrust bearings by different structures.

 

Cylindrical Roller Thrust Bearings

 

 

 

LYC cylindrical roller thrust bearings are divided into bearings of single row and double row. Single row cylindrical roller thrust bearings can carry axial load in one direction and limit axial displacement in one direction. Double-row cylindrical roller thrust bearings can carry axial load in both directions and limit axial displacements in both directions.

 

Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings

 

 

LYC spherical roller thrust bearings have a spherical inner and outer raceway. The rollers are also spherical. The self-aligning capacity is very good which allow angular error of 2°～3°. The axial carrying capacity is higher. Spherical roller thrust bearings also can carry certain radial load.

Spherical roller bearings can carry unidirectional axial load and limit unidirectional axial displacement. They are suitable to be used in applications at high speeds.

 

Taper Roller Thrust Bearings

 

 

LYC taper roller thrust bearings have tapered inner raceway outer raceway and rolling elements. The extension lines of them intersect at one point of shaft axis which will make dynamical friction less comparing with other types of thrust roller bearings.

Any angular error between axial and bearing block of taper roller thrust bearings is not allowed.

 

Needle Roller Thrust Bearings

The performance of LYC needle roller thrust bearings is similar to that of cylindrical roller thrust bearings. Compared with cylindrical roller thrust bearings needle roller thrust bearings are with smaller axial dimension and high load carrying capacity. However the friction is big as well as the speed is slow because of the long length of needle rollers.

According to the number of rows needle roller thrust bearing is divided into single direction and double-direction.

Single direction needle roller thrust bearings can carry axial load in one direction and limit unidirectional axial displacements.

Needle roller thrust bearing doesnt allow any angular error when mounting.

LYC also can design thrust roller bearings with other structures such as double-row cylindrical roller thrust bearings thrust roller bearings with outer covers or flat washers cylindrical roller thrust bearings without rings etc. All types cant be listed in this catalogue. If customers need please consult LYC technical department. 

 

Cages

Cages of thrust roller bearings supplied by LYC are pressed steel cages machined solid cages glass fabric reinforced polyamide 66 cages and etc. Machined solid cages are mainly made of brass bronze various light alloys and phenolic resin. Cages of different material are identified by suffix. Further details will be found in LYC catalogue “Bearing material”.
