Thrust ball bearings

Thrust ball bearings are rolling bearings designed to withstand axial loads. They consist of a set of ball-shaped rolling elements and a bearing seat, enabling them to effectively bear high-intensity axial forces.

These bearings are commonly divided into unidirectional thrust ball bearings and bidirectional thrust ball bearings. Unidirectional thrust ball bearings can withstand axial forces and operate in only one direction, while bidirectional thrust ball bearings can handle axial forces in both directions.

Thrust ball bearings are frequently used in applications requiring support for axial loads, such as wind turbines, automotive transmission systems, and large machinery.
