Axial tapered roller bearings can form a very compact bearing arrangement in the axial direction, which can withstand heavy axial loads and is rigid.

Type 80000 thrust bearing is a thrust roller bearing that can withstand axial loads in one direction. Its axial load capacity is much larger than that of thrust ball bearings, with high rigidity and small axial space. Thrust cylindrical roller bearings and thrust needle roller bearings are suitable for applications with low rotational speed, and the rotational speed of thrust cylindrical roller bearings is slightly lower than that of thrust tapered roller bearings.

Thrust roller bearings are used to bear the combined axial and radial loads with the main axial load, but the radial load shall not exceed 55% of the axial load. Compared with other thrust roller bearings, this kind of bearing has lower friction factor, higher speed and self-aligning performance.
