Overview of Thrust Ball Bearings
Thrust ball bearing is designed to withstand thrust load when running at high speed and is composed of washer-like rings with ball rolling raceway groove.Because the ring is in the shape of seat, thrust ball bearings are divided into two types: flat base cushion type and aligning spherical cushion type.In addition, these bearings can withstand axial loads but not radial loads.
Types of thrust ball bearings
According to the force, it is divided into unidirectional thrust ball bearing and bidirectional thrust ball bearing.One - way thrust ball bearing, can bear one - way axial load.Bidirectional thrust ball bearing, can withstand bidirectional axial load, wherein shaft ring and shaft match.
The mounting surface of the seat ring is spherical bearing with self-aligning performance, which can reduce the influence of installation error.
Applications of Thrust Ball Bearings
Purpose of thrust ball bearing: it is only suitable for bearing one axial load and low speed parts, such as crane hook, vertical water pump, vertical centrifuge, jack, low speed reducer, etc.
Composition of thrust ball bearing:
Thrust ball bearing is composed of three parts: seat ring, shaft ring and ball cage assembly.
The shaft ring matched with the shaft ring and the seat ring matched with the housing.
