Thrust tapered roller bearings can form a very compact axial bearing configuration, which can withstand heavy axial loads, is insensitive to impact loads, and has good rigidity. Screw fixed bearings form a specially designed unidirectional tapered roller thrust bearing, which includes full rollers.
This type of bearing is used for screw fixed bearing configuration in steel rolling mills. Thrust tapered roller bearings have logarithmic contact lines between the raceway and rollers, ensuring stress distribution in the bearing and extending its lifespan.
