Thrust ball bearings are divided into one-way or two-way thrust ball bearings. They can only bear axial load and must not bear any radial load.
Features and advantages
Separable and interchangeable
The separate components of the thrust ball bearing are interchangeable. This is convenient for installation, disassembly, maintenance and inspection.
Initial misalignment
Bearings with spherical races can accommodate initial misalignment.
Interference fit
The shaft ring has a ground hole to achieve an interference fit. The seat ring hole is processed by turning and is always larger than the shaft ring hole.
