Thrust Bearings

Thrust ball bearings have a contact angle of 90 degrees and are designed to withstand axial loads only.

They must therefore often be associated with a radial bearing.

Single direction ball thrust bearings withstand the axial load of a shaft in only one direction.

Thrust bearings are made of detachable elements: shaft-ring, housing-ring, ball-cage assembly.

Thrust bearings are equipped with a pressed steel cage.

Can withstand axial loads only in one direction, and low speeds.

As the performance of a thrust bearing is related to the distribution of the load over the entire circumference, it is important to have virtually no misalignment between the shaft-ring and the housing-ring (misalignment angle less than 0.03 degrees).
