Thrust ball bearings are designed to withstand thrust loads at high speeds and consist of a washer-like ferrule with ball rolling groove grooves. Since the ferrule is in the shape of a seat cushion, the thrust ball bearing is divided into two types: a flat base cushion type and a self-aligning spherical seat cushion type. In addition, this bearing can withstand axial loads but cannot withstand radial loads.
The use of thrust ball bearings: only suitable for parts with a low axial load and low speed, such as crane hooks, vertical pumps, vertical centrifuges, jacks, low speed reducers, etc. The shaft ring, race and rolling element of the bearing are separated and can be assembled and disassembled separately.
