Thrust Ball Bearing

Thrust ball bearings support axial loads with smooth, low-friction rotation.

Structural Features of Thrust Ball Bearings

Ball Rolling Elements: Use spherical balls running in precision raceways to support axial loads with low friction.

Washer Assembly: Composed of a shaft washer and a housing washer, with rolling elements positioned between them.

Cage Design: Maintains proper ball spacing and alignment for smooth and stable operation.

One-Way & Two-Way Types: Available to support axial loads in one direction or in both directions, depending on application requirements.
