HRUST BALL BEARINGS   Thrust ball bearings are a combination of shaft locating washer, housing locating washer, and ball and cage thrust assemblies.  Thrust ball bearings are designed to specifically carry axial loads, but must not subjected to any radial loads.  They are available in single direction and double directions.
 
Application of thrust ball bearing: thrust ball bearings are suitable for low speed axial machine, such as a crane hook, vertical pump, vertical centrifuge, Jack, speed reducer.
 
    Single Direction Thrust Ball Bearings   Single direction thrust ball bearings consist of one shaft washer, one housing washer, and one set of roller and cage assemblies.  It is designed to be separable, the washer and the ball and cage assemblies can be mounted separately, so that the mounting can be done easily.  Some smaller sizes of the bearings are available with options of flat washer or spherical housing washer.  Spherical seat washer can be applied together with spherical housing washer in order to compensate shaft deflection or misalignment.
