Abstract
The cageless thrust bearing with unguided cylindrical rollers comprises a pair of thrust bearing races with axially separated flat thrust raceways. Cylindrical rollers all having the same diameter are located between the separated flat thrust raceways. The spacing of the rollers is such that the rollers become radially aligned in the bearing under a rotating thrust load, without side or end guidance of the rollers.
