Thrust ball bearings are designed to support axial loads in one direction while allowing rotation between two surfaces. They consist of two hardened steel washers (races) with a ball and cage assembly between them.

These bearings are commonly used in automotive steering systems, machine tool spindles, lazy susans, and other applications where pure thrust loads predominate with minimal radial loading. They provide compact, economical solutions for axial load support in low to moderate speed applications.
