Thrust ball bearing
RKB Europe

RKB thrust ball bearings are manufactured in two versions: single and double direction. They can carry heavy axial loads, but they cannot take radial loads.

The single direction bearings consist of shaft washer, housing washer with flat support surface and ball cage assembly. The bearings are of separable design for a simple mounting of the parts.

The double direction thrust ball bearings can take axial loads in both directions. Such a bearing consists of a shaft central washer, two housing washers and two ball cage assemblies. The bearings are of separable design and ball cage assemblies are interchangeable with the corresponding single direction bearings.

Thrust ball bearings with sphered housing washer can be used with sphered seating housing to compensate the misalignment between the support surface in the housing and in the shaft.
