most common thrust bearing types

Thrust bearings, designed to accommodate axial load in one or both directions, carries the load in one direction while the double acting can carry load in both directions. Several design types and configurations to suit a variety of load capacities and applications have been made like the,
Ball Thrust Bearings which accommodates thrust loads in one direction and consists of two hardened and ground thrust plates with matching ball grooves on one side and a 1 piece brass cage that contains the precision balls.
Angular contact ball thrust bearings accommodates both radial and thrust loads with their large thrust carrying capacity being the primary design feature, they consist of hardened and ground angular contact plates with dowel pin holes for mounting and a brass cage with precision balls.
Cylindrical Roller bearings are designed to provide large thrust capacities for a given envelope and if compared with the ball thrust bearings the increase in thrust capacity is much greater. Thrust Needle Roller Bearings are designed to transmit a thrust load between two relatively rotating objects while greatly reducing friction and are ideal for automotive, agricultural and construction equipment. Thrust Tapered Roller Bearings include rollers that have conical sections, which ensures a true rolling motion for maximum bearing life and load carrying capacity.
