Single Direction Thrust Ball Bearing With Flat Seating Ring

Unidirectional thrust ball bearings with flat races: efficient carriers of axial loads
Among various types of mechanical equipment, unidirectional thrust ball bearings with flat seats play a key role due to their unique structure and excellent performance, making them an ideal choice for axial positioning and load transmission.
This kind of bearing has a relatively simple structure, consisting of a shaft ring, a flat seat ring, and a steel ball and cage assembly. The shaft ring fits closely with the shaft and rotates with the shaft, while the flat seat ring is connected to the bearing seat and remains stationary. The cage is usually made of stamped steel plates or engineering plastics. It evenly separates the steel balls and guides the steel balls to roll stably between the raceways of the shaft ring and the seat ring, avoiding mutual friction between the steel balls and ensuring smooth operation of the bearing.
The notable feature of the one-way thrust ball bearing with a flat seat ring is that it can only bear axial load in one direction and cannot bear radial load. During operation, the axial force is evenly transmitted to the shaft ring and seat ring through the steel balls, achieving low friction and high-efficiency load transmission. For example, in the crane hook device, it bears the unidirectional axial force generated by the gravity of the cargo to ensure the stable operation of the hook; in the vertical water pump, it bears the axial thrust of the impeller to ensure the normal operation of the water pump.Centripetal Bearings,High-Quality Bearings,Industrial Bearings,Explore our premium centripetal and radial ball bearings.
