Read on to learn more about thrust bearings and their many applications and benefits.

What is a thrust bearing?

A thrust bearing can be configured with all bearing types, including:

Ball bearings
Cylindrical bearings
Spherical bearings
Needle bearings
Fluid bearings
Magnetic bearings

Thrust bearings are a type of rotary bearing generally used to accommodate axial loads; however, some designs can equally be applied to radial loads.

The benefits of thrust bearings

Thrust bearings are often used in aerospace, engine and marine industries and provide a range of benefits, including:

High-performance reliability
High load capacity
Perform well in harsh environments
Are easy to install and replace
Are diverse in application
Readily available
Lowest friction of most bearing types
Run cool at high speeds

Because of their versatility, thrust bearings are becoming more popular in areas where other bearing types were traditionally used.

Different types of thrust bearing

Thrust bearings provide a reliable, high-performance solution that continues to be applied to more and more applications; therefore, there is a wide range of thrust bearing types.

Single direction thrust bearing

A single-direction thrust ball bearing consists of a shaft and housing washer with a raceway, with the ball bearings in a cage assembly. A single-direction thrust ball bearing performs well under axial loads operating in one direction. These types of bearings, however, are not suitable for radial loads.

Double direction thrust bearing

A double-direction thrust ball bearing operates with axial loads in both directions but, like single-direction thrust bearings, is not suitable for radial loads. Double-direction thrust ball bearings consist of a shaft washer with a raceway on each face, dual assemblies with ball and cage, and two housing washers with the raceways.

Full-complement thrust ball bearing

A full complement thrust ball bearing is designed for axial loads but not radial loads. These bearings allow for high load carrying capacity and operate best at lower speeds.

Thrust bearings are not confined to ball bearing designs and have been configured with other roller bearing types. Some examples include:

Single and double direction angular thrust ball bearings
Thrust needle bearings
Tapered roller thrust bearing
Spherical roller thrust bearings and more
