Advanced Industrial Thrust Bearing Solutions

Thrust Ball Bearings: Characteristics, Manufacturing Processes, and Application Guidelines Thrust Ball Bearings (TBB) are separable bearings specifically designed to withstand axial loads. Widely used in low-speed, heavy-load scenarios, their performance characteristics, manufacturing processes, and application specifications are highly practical. Product advantages focus on axial load-bearing capacity and cost-effectiveness. First, they possess strong axial load-bearing capacity. The surface-contact design between steel balls and thrust raceways enables them to bear pure axial loads—single-directional models adapt to one-way thrust, while bidirectional models can withstand loads from both directions. Second, they feature a simple structure and low cost. Composed of a shaft washer, housing washer, steel balls, and a cage, they have mature mass production processes and higher cost-effectiveness than thrust roller bearings. Third, maintenance is convenient: the separable structure facil…
