Thrust ball bearing is designed to withstand thrust load at high speed and is composed of a gasket-shaped ring with a ball rolling groove。Owing to its cushion-shape ring, the thrust ball bearing is divided into flat-base cushion type and aligning spherical surface cushion type. In addition, this bearing can only undertake the axial load, but not radial load.
• Composition• The composition of thrust ball bearing: The thrust ball bearing is composed of race, shaft washer and steel ball retainer. The one that matches with the axis is called shaft washer. The one that matches with the shell is called the ring.
•Usage• The usages of the thrust ball bearing: It can only applied to the low rotating speed machine parts that undertake axial load from one way, such as crane hook, vertical water pump, vertical centrifugal machine, jack and low-speed reducer, etc. The bearing’s rings, races and rolling elements are separated. They can be assembled and dissembled separately.
