51314 Miniature Thrust Bearings , Chrome Steel High Speed Thrust Bearing

Thrust ball bearings are manufactured as single direction or double direction thrust ball bearings. They are designed to accommodate axial loads only and must not be subjected to any radial load. thrust ball bearings are separable, ie the shaft washer, housing washer(s), ball and cage assembly(s) can be mounted separately

1-Single direction thrust ball bearings: consist of two washers with raceways and balls guided by

cage. Washers have flat seating surfaces, and that is why they must be supported so that all balls

can be evenly loaded. Bearings carry the axial load only in one direction. They are not able to

carry radial forces

2-Double direction thrust ball bearings: have two cages with balls between the central shaft

washer and two houding washers with flat seating surfaces. The shaft washer has raceways on

both sides and is fixed on the journal. Bearings are able to carry only axial forces in both

directions.

Angular contact ball bearings features :

1) Load capacities are higher than deep groove ball bearings of same dimensions

2) Used for bearing radial-axial combined loads or pure thrust loads

3) Low operating friction and high limiting speed
