What is centripetal thrust bearing

Centripetal thrust bearings are mainly used in the installation and fixation of radial and axial load transmission shafts. Radial thrust bearings are mainly used in the installation and fixing of radial and axial load transmission shafts at the same time.

For a single centripetal thrust bearing, the width of the gap between the outer ring and the inner ring on each side of the bearing is not the same, so the wide side of the bearing is named as the front side of the bearing, and the narrow side of the bearing is named as the back side of the bearing.

Expanded Information

Centripetal thrust ball bearings are precision parts, and therefore require considerable caution in the use of the attitude, that is to say, the use of high-performance bearings, if the use of improper, but also can not achieve the desired performance results, and easy to make the bearing damage.

However, in some special operating conditions, centripetal thrust ball bearings can obtain longer than the traditional calculation of life, especially in the case of light load. These special operating conditions are when the rolling surfaces (tracks and rolling elements) are effectively separated by a film of lubricant and the surface damage that can result from contaminants is limited. In fact, under ideal conditions, the so-called permanent bearing life is possible.
