Thrust (axial) cylindrical roller bearings can be perfectly used in supports, which accommodate very heavy axial loads, including shock loads, in the devices where the load capacity of thrust (axial) ball bearings is insufficient. Any radial load for thrust (axial) roller bearings is unacceptable. They permit neither angular misalignment nor misalignment between the shaft and the housing. Single thrust (axial) roller bearings accommodate only axial loads acting in one direction, and double thrust (axial) roller bearings can accommodate the axial loads acting in both directions.
