FIELD: machine building.
SUBSTANCE: invention generally relates to thrust bearings and, in particular, to holders of self-aligning thrust bearings. Thrust bearing (2) comprises bearing holder (6) comprising first ring (13a) and second ring (13b) radially spaced from first ring (13a), and at least two bearing inserts (4) spaced circumferentially in holder (6). Rings (13a and 13b) form annular channel (14) between them and at least two structural elements (16) for holding bearing inserts (18) extending upward from the uppermost surface of second ring (13b), wherein in each structural element (16) retaining groove (20) is formed. Inserts (4) are retained in holder (6) using structural elements (16) for holding bearing inserts.
EFFECT: creation of holder for thrust bearing, which provides possibility of easy assembly and holding of inserts in thrust bearing, and also that will retain inserts of thrust bearing in place during assembly with simultaneous possibility of free movement of inserts during use of thrust bearing in machine.
