Thrust Bearings. Flat bearings feature a grooved race and steel cage to help move axial forces in one direction. Precision ball bearings can provide smooth rotation under high axial loads and low speeds, such as turntables, lead screws and machine tools.Thrust bearings are a type of rotary bearing that allow rotating parts to move smoothly while supporting axial loads (those parallel to the shaft) in one direction. They consist of roller elements encased in a cage, which sits between two thrust washers or raceways.

 Thrust Bearings Ball. Ball thrust bearings suit high-speed applications and light loads for high precision... Cylindrical Roller. Cylindrical roller thrust bearings are suitable for heavy loads... Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings.Thrust bearings include a broad range of bearings that accommodate axial loads. Also referred to as axial force, thrust is parallel to the axis of rotation. Depending on the application, there are many types and variations of thrust bearings. Ball thrust bearings effectively withstand pure thrust loads.
