What is a cylindrical roller thrust bearing and where are they found?

Cylindrical roller thrust bearings are separable axial bearings, which are able to support heavy axial loads and shock impact loads. However, they are unable to support any radial load.

These bearings require little axial space, thanks to their slim design.

Cylindrical roller thrust bearings are suitable for low to medium speed applications, and are commonly found in everyday applications such as garden machinery and motorbikes.
