Our Collection of Thrust Bearings
We stock a wide selection of thrust bearings, ensuring our customers have the right solutions for the job, as each thrust bearing type will have certain advantages and uses, depending on the application. Our thrust ball bearings are made up of a shaft washer, housing washer and a ball and cage system, ideal for automotive and select industrial applications that operate at high speeds. We stock both single and double thrust ball bearings. Choose our range of different-sized cylindrical thrust bearings, able to support higher loads but at lower speeds, for applications in mining and construction. Our spherical roller thrust bearings can self-align and are simple to mount and dismount. This category can be used for low and medium-speed applications, such as agricultural equipment. We supply thrust needle bearings for applications with minimal space and can support different axial loads at very high speeds.Why Choose Northwest Bearings?

Thrust Bearings FAQs
What are Thrust Bearings Used For?
Thrust bearings support a wide range of axial loads, which are the forces applied parallel to the shaft. The different categories, including thrust ball bearings, are commonly used in automotive, marine and industrial machinery applications where components like shafts or rotors need to remain aligned while managing forward or backwards motion.
What is the Difference Between a Main Bearing and a Thrust Bearing?
Main bearings, such as deep groove ball bearings, are designed to support radial loads, which act perpendicular to the shaft, helping to maintain rotation and alignment. On the other hand, a thrust bearing is designed to handle axial loads and prevent the shaft from moving forward or backwards. Both types work together to support overall stability in rotating systems.
