Thrust ball bearings carry pure axial load between shaft and housing washers - locating a shaft axially at comparatively low speeds, with no radial capacity.
Typical uses: crane hooks, vertical pumps, machine tool tables and turntables.
Process Overview
Thrust ball bearings carry pure axial load: balls run between two shaft washers and one housing washer with a raceway each. They locate a shaft axially but carry no radial load and are limited to comparatively low speeds.
Typical uses are crane hooks, vertical pumps, machine tool tables and turntables — anywhere the load pushes along the axis.
