Features
LBR thrust ball bearings are design to accommodate large axial load, however they must not be subjected to radial load. Most frequent bearings are single direction thrust ball bearings. During operation these bearings must be constantly subjected to a specific axial load. These bearings can be also combined with spherical rings to cope with small initial misalignments.
Single direction thrust bearings
LBR Single Direction Thrust Ball Bearings consist of two flat washers with raceways, balls and cage which are detachable. The washers have a flat seating surface therefore they have to be embedded so that all balls are equally loaded. Bearings only transfer axial loads in one direction.
Cage
Thrust ball bearings have as standard pressed steel cage, where the material and application is not marked. Larger size bearings use massive brass cage to offer more robust solutions.
