Single Direction Thrust Ball Bearings

Additional Details

We are offering a wide range of single direction thrust ball bearings, which is equipped with a shaft washer, a housing washer and a ball and cage thrust assembly. The bearings are detachable so that mounting becomes easy as the washers and the ball and cage assembly can be mounted separately. These thrust ball bearings are available in either a flat seat surface on the housing washer or a sphered seat surface.

Features:

    Bearings with a sphered housing washer can be used jointly with a sphered seat washer to balance for misalignment between the support surface in the housing and the shaft
    Sphered seat washers are available from SKF but must be ordered separately
    Single direction thrust ball bearings can house axial loads in one direction and thus locate a shaft axially in one direction
    They must not be subjected to any radial load

 Double direction thrust ball bearings

Double direction thrust ball bearings are provided with one shaft washer, two housing washers and two balls and cage thrust assemblies. The bearings are divisible so that mounting is trouble-free. The various parts can be mounted separately and are identical to those of the single direction bearings. They must not be subjected to radial load.

Features:

    Smaller bearings are available with either a flat seat surface on the housing washers or with a sphered seat surface
    Bearings with sphered housing washers can be used together with sphered seat washers to compensate for misalignment between the housing and shaft.
    The sphered seat washers are available from SKF, but must be ordered separately
    Double direction thrust ball bearings can accommodate axial loads acting in both directions and can thus serve to axially locate a shaft in both directions.
