The SKF spherical roller thrust bearings have specially designed raceways and asymmetrical rollers. The bearings can accommodate axial loads acting in one direction and simultaneously acting radial loads The load is transmitted between the raceways via the rollers at an angle to the bearing axis, while the flange guides the rollers.
Here are examples of applications in which spherical roller thrust bearings might be used: Industrial transmission, Metals, Pulp and paper, Industrial fans, Marine, Mining, mineral processing and cement.

High load carrying capacity
Accommodate misalignment
Separable design.
High speed capability
Low friction
