Thrust ball bearings are designed to exclusively carry axial (thrust) loads. These bearings consist of balls that directly contact the shaft and housing, and they are generally known for their ability to operate at high speeds, with low friction, and a long service life. In thrust ball bearings, the balls rotate within grooves on the inner and outer races. This design allows the bearing to withstand forces acting only in the axial direction. The high precision manufacturing of the balls and races ensures that the bearing operates with a high degree of accuracy.
