We supply a wide range of thrust ball bearings, including original and compatible models from leading manufacturers such as SKF, FAG, NSK, NTN, and INA. These bearings are designed specifically to support axial (thrust) loads only—either in one direction or both—depending on the configuration.

Thrust ball bearings consist of bearing washers with raceway grooves, a ball and cage assembly, and optionally a shaft and housing washer. Available in single-direction and double-direction versions, they offer high axial load capacity with minimal radial load tolerance. These bearings are suitable for applications where axial alignment is maintained and radial forces are negligible.

These bearings are typically used in low-speed, high-precision environments such as vertical shafts, turntables, jacks, and spindles. We offer variants with pressed steel, brass, or polyamide cages and several options for bore size, lubrication method, and preload level to meet specific engineering requirements.
