Combination bearings are created for applications which require both a thrust and a journal bearing, in which both bearing types must respond to the specific environmental needs of a particular application. Common examples of combination bearings include Vertical Bearing Assemblies used in applications that require air cooling, electrical insulation and conformance to other environmental parameters. Combination designs also commonly include Handbook self-contained units and other horizontal bearing assemblies that adapt to an external casing or a customer’s existing housing.
