SKF - Rolling Bearings

Basic selection criteria
Angular contact thrust ball bearings can
support normal axial loads at high speeds.
Here, the single direction bearings can also
accommodate simultaneously acting radial
loads, while double direction bearings are normally
used only for purely axial loads
(† fig. 22).
For normal to heavy loads that are purely
axial and act in one direction only, needle roller
thrust bearings, cylindrical and tapered roller
thrust bearings are suitable. Spherical roller
thrust bearings († fig. 23) can accommodate
axial loads in one direction only as well as
radial loads. For heavy alternating axial loads,
two cylindrical roller thrust bearings or two
spherical roller thrust bearings can be
mounted in pairs.
