Spherical thrust bearings are designed to operate — and correct — directional misalignments. These self-aligning thrust bearings are built to accommodate extreme thrust loads. The raceways are inclined to the bearing’s axis, so they can also handle radial loads up to 50% of the thrust load. When the shaft they support takes consistent shocks, consider double row bearings that can realign the bearing to the shaft.
Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings
Cylindrical Thrust Roller Bearings
Cylindrical roller thrust bearings are designed to support high axial loads that are parallel to the shaft. They are best used for applications that require low friction at high speeds. They have no radial load carrying capacity. Common applications are extruders, service pumps, sludge/water separation presses, and injection molding equipment to name a few.
Ball Thrust Bearings
As a trusted manufacturer of thrust bearings, we offer ball thrust bearings, designed for high-performance axial load support. We inventory the light-duty, single-direction ball thrust varieties for our distributors, and we are sought for Scheerer’s angular contact ball thrust bearings that can handle both radial and thrust loads. Our grooved race systems are designed for higher load capacities found in electric motors, pumps, and other high-speed applications. Flat race systems are also available for bearings that require minimal space at slower speeds.
Tapered Roller Thrust Bearings
Scheerer manufactures both single and bi-directional tapered roller thrust bearings. This category of bearing is designed specifically to carry axial loads with no radial load capacity. Components include two washers: a shaft washer, and a housing washer plus a removable roller and cage assembly.
Heavy Duty Thrust Bearings For Industrial Performance
Scheerer Bearing specializes in manufacturing heavy-duty thrust bearings engineered for severe service conditions. Our bearings are designed for:
- Mining and aggregate equipment
- Steel mills
- Gearboxes and power transmission systems
- Construction and heavy machinery
All of our industrial thrust bearings are produced with high-grade materials and advanced manufacturing processes to ensure long-term reliability.
Self-Aligning Thrust Bearings
Innovative High-performance Thrust Bearings
Thrust bearing manufacturer, Scheerer Bearing Corporation, specializes in producing a wide range of thrust bearing solutions, including ball thrust bearings, spherical thrust bearings, tapered roller thrust bearings, and cylindrical roller thrust bearings with spherical seating ring. These bearings are engineered to manage axial loads parallel to the shaft, making them ideal for applications requiring high-performance under pressure.
We maintain a robust inventory of single-direction and double-direction ball and roller thrust bearings for our distributors. Our expertise also extends to angular contact ball thrust bearings, which are designed to support both radial alignment and axial loads.
For demanding applications like electric motors, pumps, and other high-speed machinery, our grooved race systems are built to deliver higher load capacities. We also offer flat raceway ball thrust bearings.

FAQs About Thrust Bearings
Most industrial thrust bearings, whether heavy-duty or precise, can be modified according to their dimensions, material, load-bearing capability, and what they will be used for, in order to get the best possible performance.
Precision thrust bearings are produced with exacting tolerances to produce precise load sharing, minimal vibration, and smooth rotational motion. This type of bearing will typically be found in applications where accurate alignment, dependable performance, and consistent operation are paramount.
Heavy-duty thrust bearings are utilized in high-load applications, including mining equipment, aggregate processing systems, steel mills, and industrial geared drives. Heavy-duty thrust bearings must be able to endure shock loads, run continuously, and operate in hostile working conditions.
Spherical roller thrust bearings are ideal for applications involving heavy axial loads and potential misalignment. They find applications in mining, metal working, and other tough use environments where long wear life and/or load carrying capacity are important.
