One-directional thrust bearings can support heavy thrust loads in one direction, combined with moderate radial loads. High shoulders on the inner and outer rings provide steep contact angles for high ...

Thrust bearings support axial loads on rotating shafts. Designs range from simple, coin-sized flat washers in household appliances to sophisticated assemblies several feet in diameter for ...

Fluid film thrust and journal bearings should provide plant operators with years of worry-free operation. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Too often, premature bearing failure results in ...
