Thrust ball bearings

Feature:

  This type of bearings is separable and the contact angle is 90 degree.So the bearings can only carry axial load. While the bearings runing, the balls are extruded to the outside of raceway by centrifugal effect and easy to be scraped. So this typy of bearing can not be used under the high speeds condition.

The single direction bearings of them can only carry axial load in one direction, while the double can carry alternating axial load in either direction.

And the trust ball bearings with spherical outer ring have self-aligning functions.

In double-direction angular contact thrust ball bearings, the contact angle is 60 degree. they can take axial load forn double-directions and the unit load form axial and radial drection. Furthermore, the bearings have a capacity of axial space limiting,and also do a little to the radial space limiting.

CAGES:

Pressed steel and machined brass cages are commonly used.

APPLICATIONS:

The thrust ball bearings are used in lathe centers, automobile clutches, reducers and so on.
