Tapered roller thrust bearing TTVS series

TAPERED ROLLER THRUST BEARINGS

Overview:
Vafem thrust bearings are built to handle high thrust loads and heavy shock. The distinctive on-apex design characteristic of tapered roller thrust bearings ensures true rolling motion, which reduces roller sliding and provides a smoother, cooler-running bearing than other thrust types. Available in a wide range of sizes and design styles, these bearings fi t many types of machinery in the industrial and automotive markets.

• Bore Sizes:

16.1 mm - 1550.0 mm (0.6337 in. - 61.0236 in.)

• Industries:

Aggregate, rubber and plastics, metals, oil, gas and power generation.

• Applications:

Cone crushers, crane hooks, oil well swivels, top drives, extruders, pulverizer drives, rolling mills, machine tool spindles and tables, drilling rig hydraulic heads, gear boxes and pre-heater fans.

• Benefits:

High performance and application flexibility versus other non-tapered bearing types. Large range of product offerings.

VAFEM tapered roller thrust bearings include conical rollers for true rolling motion. These bearings are engineered so that the rollers and raceway converge at a common apex point, which is on the center line of the bearing. Seating force between the rib and roller helps provide positive roller guidance.
VAFEM manufactures several types of heavy-duty tapered roller thrust bearings: standard
(TTHD), V-flat (TTHDFL) and self-aligning V-flat (TTVS). VAFEM also offers TTSP and TTC, lightduty thrust bearings designed for oscillating applications.

TTVS

The TTVS design employs the same basic roller and raceway design as the TTHDFL, except  the lower ring is in two pieces. The contacting faces of the lower ring are spherically ground,  permitting self-alignment under conditions of initial misalignment. TTVS bearings should not  be used if dynamic misalignment (changing under load) is expected. These bearings are found  in cone crushers, extruders, gear drives and pulp refifiners.
