Key features of Axial Cylindrical Roller Bearings include:

• Design: They typically have one or more rows of cylindrical rollers arranged parallel to the axis, allowing them to carry axial loads with high rigidity.
• Application: Axial cylindrical roller bearings are commonly used in applications where there is a need to support heavy axial loads, such as in gearboxes, machine tool spindles, and thrust bearing arrangements.
• Separable Design: Many axial cylindrical roller bearings have separable components, making installation and maintenance more convenient.
• Configurations: They are available in single-row or double-row configurations, depending on the magnitude of the axial load and the desired level of axial stiffness.
• Thrust Capacity: These bearings are designed to handle significant thrust loads and provide reliable support for components subjected to axial forces.

Axial Cylindrical Roller Bearings play a crucial role in machinery and mechanical systems by efficiently supporting axial loads, ensuring stable and precise operation in applications where thrust forces are prevalent.

Axial cylindrical roller bearings exhibit a notable capacity to carry high axial loads, possess remarkable rigidity, and can effectively support axial forces in a single direction. In comparison to axial needle roller bearings of the same diameter, axial cylindrical roller bearings have a superior load-carrying capacity.

These bearings are particularly well-suited for applications where:

– High axial and shock loads occur in one direction, and there are no radial loads present.
– The load-carrying capacity of comparable axial deep groove ball bearings is insufficient.
– There is limited axial space available.
– Bearing parts can or must be mounted separately.

Design Options:

Axial cylindrical roller bearings are offered in the following designs:

– Complete single and double row bearings.
– Individual bearing components for combination, including axial cylindrical roller and cage assembly, housing locating washer, and shaft locating washer. Bearing washers can serve as an alternative to the housing and shaft locating washer.

For situations where, for instance, high speeds are prevalent, and precise centering of bearing washers is essential, it is recommended to use complete axial cylindrical roller bearings.

In cases where axial space is limited, integrating the axial cylindrical roller and cage assembly directly into the adjacent construction may be beneficial. This integration requires producing the running surfaces for the rolling elements as rolling bearing raceways.
