It consists of three parts: the seat ring, the shaft ring, and the ball - cage assembly. The shaft ring fits with the shaft, and the seat ring fits with the housing. Moreover, the shaft ring, the seat ring, and the cage assembly can be separated. This separable design facilitates the installation and disassembly of the bearing.
It is designed to withstand large axial loads with a relatively high load - bearing capacity, meeting the working requirements of equipment under different working conditions.
It adopts an optimized rolling - element design, providing low - friction and smooth operation, which helps reduce energy consumption, vibration, and noise.
It has a compact structure. In equipment of the same size, it can have more installation space compared with ordinary bearings. It can also reduce the volume and weight of the equipment, thereby lowering the transportation cost of the equipment.
It is widely used in components such as engines, transmissions, differentials, and automotive steering systems. For example, the high - speed rotating components of an engine need to bear large thrust loads, and thrust ball bearings can effectively bear these loads, improving the working efficiency and reliability of the engine. In the automotive steering system, it bears the axial force of the steering wheel.
It is used in equipment such as rolling mills and continuous casting machines in the metallurgical industry, mining machinery in the mining industry, and mixing equipment and centrifuges in the chemical industry. These applications need to bear large thrust loads, impact loads, and high - speed rotation and thrust loads respectively.
In applications such as crane hooks that need to bear large axial loads, it can provide stable and reliable support.
It is suitable for applications that require low - speed operation and need to bear a certain axial load, such as some transmission systems or mechanical devices.
