Thrust ball bearing -

THB Thrust ball bearings are available as single single direction and double direction bearings. The single direction thrust ball bearings comprises of a shaft washer, a housing washer and a ball and cage thrust assembly. The bearings can be separated to make mounting simple s the washers and the ball and cage assembly can be mounted separately. Single direction thrust ball bearings can accommodate axial loads in one direction and locate a shaft axially in one direction. However they must not be subjected to any radial load. Smaller size bearings are available with either a flat seat surface on the housing washer or a sphered seat surface. Bearings with a sphered housing washer can be used in conjunction with a sphered seat washer to minimize the misalignment between the support surface in the housing and the shaft. Double direction thrust ball bearings comprises of one shaft washer, two housing washers and two ball and cage.
