Single direction thrust ball bearings

• Single direction thrust ball bearings consist of a shaft washer, a housing washer and a ball and cage assembly. As their name implies, single direction thrust ball bearings can accommodate axial loads and locate a shaft axially, in one direction only.

Double direction thrust ball bearings

• Double direction thrust ball bearings consist of one shaft washer, two housing washers and two ball and cage assemblies. The housing washers and ball and cage assemblies are identical to those found in single direction bearings. Double direction thrust ball bearings can accommodate axial loads and locate a shaft axially, in both directions.
