Thrust bearings

What are thrust bearings?

A thrust bearing is specifically designed to accommodate forces acting in the longitudinal direction of a shaft, also known as axial forces. Unlike radial bearings, which absorb forces perpendicular to the shaft, thrust bearings are essential in applications where thrust forces occur. They ensure smooth rotation and reduce friction, which extends machine life and increases efficiency.

Types of thrust bearings

• Pivot bearing: Placed at the end of a shaft, ideal for unidirectional load applications.
• Bearings: Placed on a continuous shaft, suitable for applications with continuous axial loads.
• Thrust bearings: Designed to withstand high axial forces, often used in heavy industrial applications.

Our range of thrust bearings

We offer a wide range of thrust bearings to meet various industrial needs:

• Ton thrust bearings
  Suitable for accommodating both axial and radial loads, with self-aligning properties.
• Single-sided acting ball thrust bearings
  Catch axial forces in one direction, ideal for applications with unidirectional loads.
• Double-sided ball thrust bearings
  Suitable for absorbing axial forces in both directions.
• Cylinder Thrust Bearings
  Offer high load carrying capacities and are suitable for applications with heavy axial loads.
• Axial roller bearings
  Compact bearings that can handle high axial loads, often used in confined spaces.
• Single Side Acting Axial Angular Contact Ball Bearings
  For applications with combined axial and radial loads in one direction.
• Double acting axial angular contact ball bearings
  Suitable for combined loads in both directions.
• Needle Thrust Bearings
  Ideal for applications with limited space and high axial loads.

Applications

Thrust bearings are widely used in various industries including:

• Automotive: For transmissions and steering systems.
• Mechanical engineering: In rotating parts such as gearboxes and pumps.
• Aerospace: For precision instruments and rotary mechanisms.
