These four types of bearings play a crucial role in a wide range of machines and equipment, providing support for rotational and linear motion, reducing friction, and enabling the efficient and reliable operation of various mechanical systems across industries.
- Thrust ball bearings are specifically designed to support axial loads, which are forces acting parallel to the shaft's axis. They are used in applications where the primary load is axial, such as in automotive transmissions, machine tool spindles, and thrust applications.
