NKE Thrust Ball Bearings are designed to support axial loads in one direction, making them ideal for applications that require the handling of high axial loads with minimal friction. These bearings consist of two grooved raceways and a set of balls, which allow for smooth rotation and efficient load management.
NKE thrust ball bearings have a high axial load capacity, as well as the ability to operate at low to moderate speeds. They are not able to withstand any amount of radial load.
These bearings are commonly used on vertical applications, such as spiral augers, pumps and gearboxes, where they are mounted in the vertical position.
