Thrust ball bearing

Thrust ball bearing is a type of separable bearing, in which the shaft ring and seat ring can be separated from the components of the cage and steel ball. The shaft ring is a ring that matches the shaft, and the seat ring is a ring that matches the bearing seat hole, with a gap between it and the shaft; Thrust ball bearings can only withstand axial loads, unidirectional thrust ball bearings can only withstand axial loads in one direction, and bidirectional thrust ball bearings can withstand axial loads in two directions; Thrust ball bearings cannot limit the radial displacement of the shaft and have a very low limit speed. Unidirectional thrust ball bearings can limit the axial displacement of the shaft and housing in one direction, while bidirectional bearings can limit the axial displacement in two directions.

single direction thrust ball bearing

A unidirectional thrust ball bearing consists of a shaft ring, a seat ring, and a steel ball cage assembly. This type of SKF bearing is a separate type, and the shaft ring, seat ring, and steel ball cage components can be installed separately.

There are two types of small bearings, namely with flat seat rings or with self-aligning seat rings. Bearings with self-aligning seat rings can be used in conjunction with self-aligning seat washers to compensate for the angular centering error between the support surface inside the bearing seat and the shaft.

The unidirectional thrust ball bearing can withstand unidirectional axial loads and perform unidirectional axial positioning, but it must not withstand any radial loads.

Double Direction Thrust Ball Bearing

The bidirectional thrust ball bearing consists of a shaft ring, two race rings, and two steel ball cage components. The bearing is a separable type, and each component can be installed independently. Bidirectional bearings and unidirectional bearings use the same shaft ring, seat ring, and steel ball cage assembly.

Bidirectional thrust ball bearings can withstand bidirectional axial loads and perform bidirectional axial positioning, but they must not withstand any radial loads.

Thrust ball bearings are mainly used in industries such as automobiles and machine tools.
