Metric Single Direction Thrust Ball Bearing
Metric single direction thrust ball bearings are designed to handle axial loads in one direction. These bearings are commonly used in automotive systems, machine tools, and industrial machinery, where their precision and reliability are highly valued. Their ability to manage axial loads efficiently makes them a practical choice for applications requiring consistent performance.
Optimized for Single Direction Axial Loads
Metric single direction thrust ball bearings are mainly used to bear thrust loads (axial loads) in a single direction and can perform one-way axial positioning.
Due to its special structure, metric single direction thrust ball bearings can withstand a very considerable axial force.
However, it should be noted that the axial load required by the bearing during operation must not be less than the minimum axial load of the bearing. The minimum bearing load can be queried on the product details page or by contacting us.
Precise Metric Dimensions
As the “metric” bearing, all dimensions of metric single direction thrust ball bearing (such as inner diameter, outer diameter, width) are trictly defined in millimeters (mm) and follows the ISO international standard.
Meanwhile, on each product’s detail page, we use metric units (mm) to clearly list the specific parameters and bearing chart for every product. Engineers can directly select, purchase, and use the products according to the metric system without needing to convert units.
Simple Structure, Easy Installation
Metric single direction thrust ball bearings have a single structure, comprising a shaft washer, a housing washer, balls and a cage.
These bearing components are independent of each other, and the separation significantly simplifies the installation process.
In addition, during the usage process, this structure also makes daily inspections, lubrication, cleaning, etc. simpler and significantly reduces maintenance time.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Can metric single direction thrust ball bearings can bear radial loads?
Absolutely NOT, metric single direction thrust ball bearings can just take load in one direction. If the force is oppositely, the worse force will make the cage too press to make the ball falling out or damage so that the bearing malfunction. In severe cases, it may even result in more serious accidents due to loose bearing components.
How can I ensure the axial load is applied correctly to the bearing?
Normally, the load is transmitted through the bearing washer to the balls, and then from the balls to the washer at the other end. The correct way to carry the load is to transmit the force through the balls, not through the cage. If the cage of your metric single direction thrust ball bearing is bearing the load, please make adjustments promptly to avoid unnecessary damage.
What key factors should I consider when selecting the right metric thrust ball bearing?
You can comprehensively consider factors such as the required bearing dimensions (e.g., inner diameter, outer diameter, width), operating speed, load capacity, and working environment.
