The INA 81109-TV is a single-direction cylindrical roller thrust bearing manufactured by Schaeffler Group's INA brand. This bearing type is specifically designed to accommodate heavy axial loads while requiring minimal axial space, making it ideal for applications where thrust ball bearings lack sufficient load-carrying capacity. The bearing consists of three separable components: an axial cylindrical roller and cage assembly (K81109-TV), a housing locating washer (GS 81109), and a shaft locating washer (WS 81109).

Design Features & Benefits
- Separable Components: All three parts (roller and cage assembly, housing washer, shaft washer) are separable, facilitating easy mounting, dismounting, and maintenance.
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to handle extremely heavy axial loads in one direction, providing high stiffness for precise positioning applications.
- Space-Efficient Design: Requires minimal axial installation space while delivering maximum load-bearing performance.
- Polyamide Cage: The TV suffix indicates a polyamide cage that offers excellent wear resistance, low friction, and good chemical stability.
- Interchangeable Components: Allows for component interchangeability within the same bearing series for inventory flexibility.
Suffix Explanation
- 81109: Base bearing number identifying size and series
- -TV: Designates a polyamide (nylon) cage material
Typical Applications
