Bearing designed to operate with loading only on its axis.
Special bearings which have wear surfaces on the sides of them which wrap around a bearing saddle. The front main bearing and 1/2 if the rear cam bearing are this type.
A bearing with flanges on its two sides that prevents a shaft such as the crankshaft from moving endwise. Tie Rod In the steering system, the rods that link the pitman arm and the idler arm to the steering knuckle arms. Timing Refers to the crankshaft angles at which the valves and ignition points open and close.
A bearing designed to withstand an axial load placed on a shaft such as that imposed by a worm and worm gear.
a bearing designed to take thrusts parallel to the axis of revolution
a thing that looks about like a washer but has little ball bearings held in it
A bearing which absorbs the axial forces produced in a centrifugal compressor by the refrigerant pressure differential across the impeller.
A bearing designed to only take axial or thrust load. It can come with either ball or needle rollers or even a combination of both.
A bearing that is designed to handle axial forces along the centerline of the shaft. In a wind generator, this is the force of the wind pushing back against the blades. See also: Shaft, Thrust
Also known as an axial-load bearing where the load acts in the direction of the axis of rotation.
A thrust bearing is a particular type of rotary bearing. Like other rotary bearings they permit rotation between parts, but they are designed to support a high axial load while doing this.
