Single direction thrust ball bearings
SKF single direction thrust ball bearings consist of a shaft
washer, a housing washer and a ball and cage thrust assembly. The
bearings are separable so that mounting is simple as the washers
and the ball and cage assembly can be mounted separately.
Smaller sizes are available with either a flat seat surface on the housing washer or a sphered seat surface. Bearings with a sphered housing washer can be used together with a sphered seat washer to compensate for misalignment between the support surface in the housing and the shaft. Sphered seat washers are available from SKF but must be ordered separately.
