Thrust Roller Bearings

Roller Thrust Bearings Roller thrust bearings carry pure thrust, or axial, loads with little or no radial forces. They use barrel-shaped rolling elements to carry single- or double-direction thrust loads. These rollers have a length perpendicular to the shaft.

Needle-Roller Bearings A built -in thrust ball bearing reduces wear from adjacent shaft components, while the needle-roller bearing supports radial loads.
