SKF/Global Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings - 292/950 EM 175002952

In spherical roller thrust bearings the load is transmitted from one raceway to the other at an angle to the bearing axis (fig 1). The bearings are therefore suitable to accommodate radial loads in addition to simultaneously acting axial loads. Another important characteristic of spherical roller thrust bearings is their self-aligning capability. This makes the bearings insensitive to shaft deflection and misalignment of the shaft relative to the housing.
