Thrust Ball Bearings

Thrust ball bearings use balls positioned between bearing washers to carry axial loads. They are intended for thrust loading rather than radial loading and are available for one-direction or two-direction axial support.

Thrust Ball Bearing Types

Choose the arrangement that matches the direction of the axial load. These bearings do not support radial loads.

Single-direction thrust ball bearing

Single-Direction Thrust Ball Bearing

A single-direction thrust ball bearing supports axial load in one direction. It consists of a shaft washer, a housing washer, and one ball-and-cage assembly.

Double-direction thrust ball bearing

Double-Direction Thrust Ball Bearing

A double-direction thrust ball bearing supports axial loads in both directions. It uses one shaft washer, two housing washers, and two ball-and-cage assemblies.
