Thrust Ball Bearings
Thrust Ball Bearings
Product Description
Thrust bearings, also known as thrust ball bearings or axial bearings, are primarily used to support or withstand axial or thrust loads. In contrast to radial bearings, which primarily handle radial loads, thrust bearings are specifically designed to handle forces parallel to the shaft's axis.
The main purpose of thrust bearings is to support or control axial loads, ensuring smooth operation of rotating mechanical components. They are commonly used in applications where axial forces are present, such as automotive transmissions, clutches, fans, pumps, and compressors.
Thrust Ball Bearings are bearings that use spherical balls as rolling elements. They are composed of one or more spherical balls positioned within the bearing housing. Thrust ball bearings are typically used in low-speed applications and can handle small to medium axial loads. They offer advantages such as compact structure, easy assembly, and low cost. Common applications include automotive transmissions, fans, and household appliances.
