Thrust ball bearings are manufactured as single direction or double direction thrust ball bearings. They are designed to accommodate axial loads only and must not be subjected to any radial load. They are designed to accommodate axial loads only and must not be subjected to any radial load.Thrust Ball Bearings for Shaft Ends Use these bearings as miniature high-precision turntables. They have a unique design that allows your shaft to sit on top of the bearing rather than being inserted through it.Thrust ball bearings are classified into those with flat seats or aligning seats depending on the shape of the outer ring seat (housing washer). They can sustain axial loads but no radial loads.

Thrust Ball Bearings. Slimmer than one-piece bearings, three-piece bearings are good for space-constrained applications. With an open design, they dissipate heat more efficiently. One-Piece Thrust Ball Bearings. In addition to handling higher loads than three-piece ball bearings.
