Caged Thrust Bearings
Whether its global industrial manufacturing companies or large international bearing manufacturers that need a thrust bearing with special requirements in a quick turn around, they come to Tackpoint. We’re a nimble, engineering focused bearing solution supplier, able to provide products that meet or exceed the most demanding of applications and environments.
There are times when you just cannot fit a standard bearing into your available design space. There are also times when the cage material of a standard bearing limits the operating temperature of the system or reduces the service life.
Standard catalogued bearings have dimensions, features, and materials that are designed to suit the majority of applications. That represents about 80% of industrial users and leaves the designers and operators of the other 20% to make do with what is commonly available.
Tackpoint designs and manufactures customized thrust bearings to service applications requiring either single row caged, or multi-row caged stacked thrust bearing solutions.
Stacked Thrust Bearings
When the inside and outside boundary dimensions of a thrust bearing are limited, but additional capacity is required, enough axial height is generally available to create a stacked assembly.
Stacked load sharing assemblies are possible by designing load-equalization races or spacers ground in matched sets that enable shared load distribution. Stacks may be made from cylindrical, spherical, or tapered roller thrust bearings.
The standard stacked bearing is a simple tandem cylindrical roller thrust bearing. However, multi-row assemblies of three, four or five high are common when higher loads and life requirements are needed.
Full Complement Thrust Bearings
Some applications require an economical and space efficient, high-capacity thrust bearing for slow speed applications such as hooks, swivels, tubing rotators, or rotating liner hangers. For these types of applications, Tackpoint offers full-complement roller assemblies.
Designs may be manufactured for sealed or unsealed assemblies in different materials and coatings. Ball, cylindrical, or needle rolling elements may be used depending on your specific requirements. These full complement thrust bearings can be designed with single row or multi-row stacks.
Industry leading Bearing Calculation Software along with FEA and Simulation Software allows Tackpoint to create the optimized and highest capacity offering for each cross section as presented by the customers application.
Should the customer require a certified Liner Hanger Bearing, Tackpoint offers thrust bearing testing and certification to API 19LH.
