Thrust Ball Bearings are specialized components engineered to handle pure axial loads in high-speed applications while maintaining minimal friction. Our precision thrust ball bearings are ideal for applications requiring smooth axial rotation under heavy loads.
Single direction thrust ball bearings accommodate axial loads in one direction while providing precise shaft guidance. Features include: Standard series from 511 to 534 (ISO dimensions) Load capacities up to 500kN static axial load Cage options: steel, brass, or polymer Common applications: automotive clutches, crane hooks, and vertical pumps
Self-aligning thrust ball bearings with sphered housing washers compensate for initial misalignment. Our industrial versions feature: ±2-3° misalignment compensation capability Series 532 and 533 with sphered housing washers Optional grooved washers for improved lubrication Ideal for applications with mounting inaccuracies: screw presses, extruders
Double direction thrust ball bearings handle axial loads in both directions with a single bearing unit. Key characteristics: Three-component design with central shaft washer Series 5200 and 5300 (ISO standard) Precision-ground raceways for equal load distribution Critical for applications like machine tool spindles and testing equipment
Self-aligning double direction thrust bearings combine bidirectional load capacity with misalignment compensation: ±1.5° alignment capability in both directions Series 542 and 543 with dual sphered washers Special heat-treated washers for heavy shock loads Essential for marine propulsion systems and large gearboxes Optional copper-alloy cages for high-temperature operation
