Fâ– Structure and FeaturesIKO Thrust Bearings consist of a precisely made cage and rollers. They have high rigidity and high load capacities and can be used in small spaces.Thrust Needle Roller Bearings incorporate needle rollers, while Thrust Roller Bearings incorporate cylin-drical rollers. Various types of raceway rings are available, and suitable bearings can be selected according to the operating conditions.When the bearing mounting surfaces of a machine are heat-treated and finished by grinding as race-ways, Thrust Bearings can be used without raceway rings allowing the machine to be made more compact. They are most suited to applications where high accu-racy is required at high speeds and under uctuating heavy loads, such as driving mechanisms for automo-biles, machine tools, and high-pressure pumps.Structures of Thrust BearingsNeedle rollerCageCylindrical roller CageInner ringCylindrical rollerCageOuter ringInner ringOuter ringThrust washerF2
