|
What is the purpose of a thrust bearing?
|
Thrust bearings are designed to manage thrust (axial) loads and provide high-shock-load resistance in a variety of applications.

|
What is axial thrust?
|
Axial Thrust is a force that is generated in an axial direction, which is by definition along the shaft.
|
|
|
What is radial thrust?
|
Radial Thrust is a force that is generated in an radiall direction, which is by definition perpendicular to the shaft.
