Thrust Ball Bearings support axial loads in single-direction or double-direction arrangements. Their separable washers and ball-and-cage assemblies simplify installation and maintenance.
Single-direction thrust ball bearings carry axial load in one direction; double-direction designs locate the shaft in both directions. These bearings are not designed to carry radial loads.
Typical applications include machine tools, pumps, gearboxes, lifting equipment and steering systems. Selection should consider axial load, speed, alignment, washer support, lubrication and operating temperature. Contact FODA to confirm dimensions and application requirements.
