 Thrust
ball bearings can support high axial forces but must not be subjectedto radial
loads, single and double direction designs available.
Features :
Thrust ball bearings consist of two precision chrome steel washers (ring) and a
ball complement spaced by bronze retainer. They can be supplied with or without
radius ball grooves in the rings. Thrust bearings are used under purely axial
loads.Thrust ball bearings can handle loads in the axial direction only. Bearing
rings mounted on the shaft are called shaft washers, and those mounted in the
housing are called housing washers. Both washers contain raceways for the
balls.Thrust ball bearings are available as both single and bi-directional types.
The bi-directional thrust bearing incorporates a third washer and an additional
set of balls. This center washer is located in the axial direction by a shaft
shoulder and sleeve.Care must be taken in handling to prevent damage to the
separable rings and ball assemblies.
Applications :
live centers in lathes, lead screws, automotive clutches, kingpin supports,
speed reducers |
