REGGISPINTA/RALLE CP33553

The plate incorporated in the thrust bearing is made from hardened bearing steel and forms one of the raceways for the rolling elements. The opposing raceway is generally provided by a separate thrust plate of similar design supplied by Nadella. When the thrust bearing is centred by the revolving part, the thrust plate must be centred by the stationary part and vice versa. lf the revolving part and the stationary part are noticeably eccentric to each other, the thrust bearing with integral plate must without exception be centred by the revolving part (see mounting examples on pages 140 and 141). The second raceway for the rolling elements may also be formed by the face of a shoulder or an inserted ring, provided these have the correct geometrical dimensions and hardness.
