What is the purpose of nylon thrust bearing?

Nylon thrust bearing is a kind of rolling bearing. While they allow rotation between parts similar to other bearings, thrust bearings are primarily designed to support axial loads. Nylon thrust bearings help reduce friction and cope with stress while enabling rotational or linear motion between various parts of automobiles and other machinery. Metal-to-metal contact creates a lot of friction and stress in the metal, which often increases premature metal wear while slowly degrading it.

The main function of the nylon thrust bearing is to reduce this friction, allowing the metal parts to work smoothly, thereby extending their durability.

There are several types of nylon thrust bearings, thrust ball bearings are a variety in this regard, which consist of ball bearings supported in a ring, these bearings are used in low thrust applications with small axial loads.

Cylindrical nylon thrust bearing

This is another type, this variety consists of small cylindrical rollers arranged flat. In this type, the axis of the roller points towards the axis of the bearing. They offer excellent carrying capacity while being affordable. The only problem with cylindrical thrust roller bearings is that they tend to wear out faster due to differences in radial velocity and friction (usually higher than ball bearings).

Tapered roller nylon thrust bearing

This is another type of thrust bearing. This variety consists of small rollers so that all the roller shafts converge at one point on the bearing shaft. This type of bearing is widely used in automotive applications to support the wheels of a specific vehicle.

Tapered roller thrust bearings are used in pairs so that they can accommodate axial thrust in any direction. The larger the contact area of ​​these bearings, the higher the thrust loads can be accommodated. The negative is that they are quite expensive to produce.

Spherical roller nylon thrust bearing

It is a variety of other thrust bearings. They use spherical asymmetric rollers. The drum works in an indoor washing machine with raceways. These bearings are capable of withstanding radial and axial loads as well as shaft misalignment. They offer the highest load rating density of any thrust bearing.
