A thrust bearing assembly including a plurality of rollers having a given diameter
d, a cage assembly configured to support the rollers, the cage assembly having
a first radial edge that extends a given radial distance X beyond the rollers,
and at least one thrust race member. The thrust race member includes a radial race
surface, a radial flange extending from the race surface, and a radial lip extending
from the flange. The lip is substantially parallel to and at a distance less than
the given diameter d from the race surface. The lip has a free end at a distance
from the flange greater than the given distance X.
