Thrust Bearing – 51103 The double Direction Thrust ball bearings can support bi-directional loads. The bearings with spherical housing washer can prevent static 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. Initial misalignment- Bearings with sphere housing washer(s) can accommodate initial misalignment. Separable and interchangeable- The separable components Thrust ball bearings are interchangeable This facilitates mounting and dismounting, and maintenance inspections. Thrust bearings suitable for unidirectional axial loads, supplied as three-part assemblies comprising two grooved outer raceways and a caged ball set. These bearings are not suitable for radial loads. Typical applications include vertical shaft bearings, steering columns etc.
