During operation of cement building materials, mining metallurgy and heavy hydraulic equipment, the main shaft sustains tremendous continuous axial pressure. Meanwhile, frame deformation under load easily leads to shaft tilt. Ordinary thrust bearings have no self-aligning capability. Angular offset will cause local overload of rolling elements, resulting in indentation and pitting and premature bearing failure. Vertical mills and granulators operate with fierce vibration and frequent alternating impact loads. Conventional thrust roller bearings lack sufficient rigidity to bear combined loads steadily for a long time.

Maintenance procedures for much heavy equipment are complicated, and shutdown maintenance leads to massive production losses. High internal operating temperature and surrounding metal dust and abrasive particles easily scratch raceways of unprotected bearings. Limited installation space of transmission mechanisms requires single bearings to bear both axial and radial combined loads. The market demands spherical roller thrust bearings with self-aligning function, high load capacity, impact resistance and adaptability to harsh environments.

NMT Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings adopt high-purity special bearing alloy steel processed by stable precise heat treatment. Rollers, shaft washers and housing washers possess sufficient surface hardness and good substrate toughness to resist continuous compression and instantaneous impact damage. Micron-level ultra-precision grinding is applied on spherical housing washer raceways to provide sufficient aligning allowance and compensate angular deviation caused by support deformation. Symmetrical spherical rollers are strictly sorted to realize uniform contact stress distribution and prevent fatigue damage induced by local stress concentration.

High-strength solid cages steadily restrain rollers under heavy load and vibration and avoid roller offset and jamming. External dustproof assemblies are optional to block dust particles invading rolling contact surfaces and slow down raceway abrasion. Dimensions comply with universal industrial standards with excellent interchangeability. No large-scale housing reconstruction is required during maintenance replacement of new and old heavy industrial equipment. Suitable for continuous low-speed heavy-load operation, the bearings maintain stable load capacity for a long time and extend equipment maintenance cycles effectively.
