Single Direction Thrust Ball Bearings
Key Features
Unidirectional thrust ball bearing includes a shaft washer, a housing washer and a set of steel ball-cage. The bearing can be separated, and the shaft washer, housing washer, steel ball-cage can be installed separately. Unidirectional thrust ball bearing is mainly used to withstand one-way axial loads and can be used for one-way axial positioning.
Benefits
- Separable and interchangeable
The separable components of SKF thrust ball bearings are interchangeable. This facilitates mounting and dismounting, and maintenance inspections. - Initial misalignment
Bearings with sphered housing washer(s) can accommodate initial misalignment. - Interference fit
Shaft washers have a ground bore to enable an interference fit. The bore of the housing washer is turned and always larger than the shaft washer bore.
Applications
Here are examples of applications in which thrust ball bearings might be used:
- Industrial fans
- Industrial pumps
- Metals
- Industrial transmissions
- Mining, mineral processing and cement
