Thrust Ball Bearings
Thrust Ball Bearings are designed to handle axial loads, supporting forces acting along the shaft’s axis. They consist of two raceways, a set of balls, and a cage, ensuring smooth operation under axial stress. These bearings are ideal for applications where precision and efficient handling of axial forces are crucial, such as in automotive gear systems, industrial machinery, and aerospace components. Their simple design makes them easy to maintain and install, offering reliable performance in demanding applications.
Thrust Ball Bearings
Thrust ball bearings are specifically designed to accommodate fairly high axial loads in low to medium speed applications and meet accuracy, stability and performance characteristics in the presence of axial force for industries. These bearings are manufactured to effectively transfer unilateral axial loads that are high durability with low friction, featuring a two-part structure consisting of a caged annulus with washer and steel ball. Thrust ball bearings are particularly suitable for low speed applications where the load needs to be accurately diverted and are critical in equipment where axial alignment is required.
Applications and Uses of Thrust Ball Bearings
Thrust ball bearings are ideal for precision environments as they are reliable and economical, especially for use in applications where load capacity and durability are essential.
