The TPS type cylindrical thrust bearing is similar to type TP, except the bottom washer is comprised of two races, with the contacting faces spherically ground. The TPS bearing is self-adjusting to initial misalignment. It is not suggested for applications where alignment may be continuously changing (dynamic misalignment).
Size range: 50.8 mm to 406.4 mm (2 in. to 16 in.)
Design Attributes
Bottom washer design makes bearing adaptable to initial misalignment.
Overlapping roller paths prevent “grooving” of races and prolong bearing life.
Minor radial displacement of the races does not affect the operation of a TPS bearing, resulting in manufacturing economies and easy installation.
Simple design is the most economical to purchase and install.
Applications
Construction wheeled equipment
Drilling equipment
Lifting equipment
Power generation gearboxes
