Thrust Bearing

The thrust ball bearing consists of a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a steel ball with a cage. The shaft washer is used to fix the shaft, and the housing washer is used to fix the parts outside the shaft. Usually, the material of the two washers and balls is chromium steel, while the material of the cage is brass or stainless steel. Compared with ordinary radial ball bearings, thrust ball bearings cannot withstand too much radial load like radial ball bearings, and small thrust ball bearings are only designed for axial or lateral loads Thrust ball bearings are usually widely used in crane hooks, vertical water pumps, vertical centrifuges, jacks, low-speed reducers, and other situations where only one side of the axial load and low-speed are required.
