Let's get our bearings turning in the world

Better performance for maximum operation

Thrust Bearings Manufacturer in China

The thrust bearings produced by VDO are generally composed of two thrust shims or more thrust shims and a number of rolling elements. The shims are generally divided into shaft and seat pieces, and the rolling elements are generally most commonly made of iron or copper cage assemblies as a whole. This type of bearing is most commonly a steel ball-type thrust bearing.

Because thrust bearings are used in many machines and in many categories, our company produces various categories of thrust bearings including (thrust ball bearings, thrust angular contact, thrust cylindrical roller bearings, thrust spherical roller bearings, thrust tapered roller bearings, thrust needle roller bearings)

Because there are many types of thrust bearings, we only show part of them here for you to find, if you don’t have the model you need, please contact our salesman to communicate with you.

Introduction of thrust ball bearings

Thrust ball bearings are designed to withstand thrust loads at high speeds and consist of a washer-like collar with a raceway groove for ball rolling. Thrust ball bearings are divided into one-way thrust and two-way thrust according to the force situation.

Single direction thrust ball bearings

  • Single-direction axial ball bearings are separable bearings.
  • It consists of a combination of a shaft ring, housing ring, ball, and cage.
  • It is easy to install and disassemble. The collar that fits tightly with the shaft is called the shaft ring, and the one with clearance from the shaft is called the seat ring.
  • It can only bear the axial load and cannot bear any radial load.
  • The limit speed is low, and the shaft and the housing hole can not be radial movement between
  • When the bearing support surface is not perpendicular to the axis, it will cause premature damage to the bearing.

Two-way thrust ball bearings

  • Two-way thrust ball bearings, which can bear axial load in both directions, cannot bear any radial load.
  • Two-way thrust ball bearings are separable bearings.
  • It consists of a shaft ring with grooves on both sides, two-seat rings, and two ball and cage assemblies.
  • A spherical cushion type or spherical seat type can be selected.
  • Super clean steel with high-quality steel, which can extend the bearing life up to 80%
  • VDO’s lubricant technology allows for longer grease life and improved bearing performance
  • High-grade steel balls for quiet and smooth rotation at high speeds.

Introduction of thrust roller bearings

Thrust roller bearings are used to bear axial load mainly shaft, and radial combined load, but the radial load shall not exceed 55% of the axial load. Compared with other roller bearings, thrust roller bearings have lower friction, higher speed, and aligning performance.

Cylindrical roller thrust bearings

  • Thrust cylindrical roller bearings can withstand heavy loads and vibration loads without difficulty.
  • These bearings can withstand very large axial loads in one direction, but cannot withstand radial loads, and they do not have self-aligning capability.
  • Thrust cylindrical roller bearings can be disassembled into thrust cylindrical roller and cage assemblies, shaft rings, and seat rings.
  • Thrust cylindrical roller bearings can use polyamide cages, light metal cages, or brass cages.

Tapered Roller Thrust Bearings

  • Axial tapered roller bearings can form a very compact configuration in the axial direction.
  • Can withstand very heavy axial loads and has good rigidity.
  • The raceways and rollers ensure optimum stress distribution in the bearing, thus extending the bearing life.
  • The rolling surface can be purely rolling, and the limiting speed is higher than that of a thrust cylindrical roller bearing.
  • Thrust tapered roller bearings with cage are of split design.

Spherical Roller Thrust Bearings

  • Thrust spherical roller bearings are the same as spherical roller bearings.
  • The seating ring raceway surface is centered on the point with the center axis, the bearing is spherical type.
  • With a self-aligning function, it is not very sensitive to coaxiality and shaft deflection.
  • The axial load capacity is very large, and can also withstand the radial load.
    The cage generally uses a brass solid frame and stamping frame.

Normal operating conditions

  • The lubricant has a viscosity.
  • There is a certain relative velocity between the moving and static bodies.
  • The two surfaces of relative motion are inclined to form an oil wedge.
  • The load is within the specified range.
  • Sufficient amount of oil.

Advantages

  • Self-lubrication and good wear resistance, no damage to friction parts.
  • Good thermal performance, in the use of the case, can be in 240 ℃ long-term use.
  • Corrosion resistance, good sealing, the bearing does not stick, and non-toxic.
  • Long service life
