Thrust roller bearing 81112M type series bearing  

Thrust roller bearings, also known as axial roller bearings, are designed to handle axial loads and provide high load capacity. They have several advantages over other types of bearings. Firstly, thrust roller bearings have a larger contact area compared to other types of bearings. This allows them to distribute the load evenly across the rolling elements, reducing stress concentration and increasing the bearing's load-carrying capacity. The larger contact area also helps to minimize friction and heat generation, resulting in improved overall efficiency and longer bearing life. Secondly, thrust roller bearings are capable of handling both radial and axial loads. This makes them suitable for applications where there is a combination of axial and radial forces, such as in heavy machinery or automotive transmissions. By being able to support both types of loads, thrust roller bearings eliminate the need for separate bearings, simplifying the design and reducing the overall size of the e…
