This INA cylindrical roller thrust bearing with a polyamide nylon cage is suitable for applications that support axial loads in one direction. The polyamide nylon cage is lightweight and produces less noise than brass cages. It has an open-end design, allowing lubrication to be applied in place. This bearing uses metric unit measurements for industry consistency and interchangeability and meets quality assurance specification s Deutsches Institut fur Normung (DIN) 722/ International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 104 for roller thrust bearing boundary dimensions. Cylindrical roller thrust bearings are used in applications where high axial loads are present, such as automotive transmissions, material handling equipment, and lifting mechanisms, among others.
Roller or rolling bearings use rolling elements to maintain the separation between moving parts to reduce rotational friction. They are usually composed of two rings, rolling bodies (such as bearings or cylinders), and a cage to house the parts. Cylindrical roller thrust bearings are suitable for applications that are required to support heavy axial loads and are used when thrust ball bearings or thrust needle bearings have insufficient load-carrying capacity. They are not suitable for transmitting radial loads. Rolling bearings are used in a range of applications from agricultural machinery to conveying equipment, robotics, automotive transmission, dental equipment, elevators, rolling mills, ship rudder shafts, and aggregate crushers, among others.
INA manufactures rolling bearings, plain bearings and linear systems for the automotive industry. The company, founded in 1946, is headquartered in Herzogenaurach, Germany, and meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) TS 16949 and 9001 standards for quality assurance.
