Thrust Ball Bearings are seat ring, bearing ring and steel roller retain. seat ring, bearing ring and the rollers is separated and simple to assemble and disassemble. According to the situation of accepctance, we can devide Thrust Ball Bearings into Double-Direction Thrust Ball Bearings and Single-Direction Thrust Ball Bearings.
Single-Direction Thrust ball bearings can withstand single-direction axial load. Double-Direction Thrust Ball Bearings can withstand double-direction axial load. In Double-Direction Thrust Ball Bearings, rings fit the axis and the bearing whose seat ring installation surface are spherical, can reduce the influence of the installation error due to its self-aligning properties.
Neither is suitable for applications that involve radial load or high-speed rotation.
Bearings whose housing washer back face is spherical (with a spherical back face or aligning seat washer) are designed with a self-aligning capability and can accommodate the effects of inaccurate mounting.
