Axial bearing washers must always be fully supported on their entire abutment surface.

The abutment shoulders should be rigid, flat and perpendicular to the axis of rotation.

The radial cage guidance surfaces must be precision machined and wear-resistant (R_z4 (R_a0,8)).

If axial cylindrical roller and cage assemblies run directly on the adjacent construction, the running surfaces must be produced as rolling bearing raceways.

The surface hardness of the raceway must be 670 HV + 170 HV, the hardening depth CHD or SHD must be sufficiently large.

Tolerances for shafts and housing bores: see table.

The limiting speeds n_G given in the product tables are valid for oil lubrication. With grease lubrication, the permissible value is 25% of the value given in the table.

A minimum axial load F_a min according to the formula must be applied.

The axial bearing washers must be fitted with the raceway side facing the rolling elements.

On housing locating washers, the raceway side is indicated by the smaller chamfer on the outside diameter.

On shaft locating washers, the raceway side is indicated by the smaller chamfer on the bore diameter.
