Thrust ball bearing

Thrust ball bearings are designed to withstand thrust loads during high-speed operation, and consist of a washer-like ferrule with a ball-rolling raceway groove.

 Since the ferrule is in the form of a seat cushion, the thrust ball bearing is divided into two types: flat seat cushion type and self-aligning spherical seat cushion type. 

In addition, this bearing can withstand axial loads, but not radial loads.

Thrust ball bearing composition: Thrust ball bearing consists of three parts: seat washer, shaft washer and steel ball cage assembly. 

Shaft washer matched with shaft, seat washer matched with housing.

The use of thrust ball bearings: It is only suitable for parts that bear an axial load on one side and have a low speed, such as crane hooks, vertical water pumps, vertical centrifuges, jacks, low-speed reducers, etc. The shaft washer, seat washer and rolling elements of the bearing are separated and can be assembled and disassembled separately
