Ball Thrust Bearings
Ball thrust bearings are specialized ball bearings designed to handle axial loads in high-speed applications, consisting of two raceways and a cage containing precision balls. They are commonly used in automotive transmissions, machine tool spindles, and vertical pumps, with various configurations available to accommodate different load directions and operating conditions. The appropriate ball thrust bearing selection depends on factors such as axial load magnitude and direction, operating speed, and required precision and rigidity.
