Thrust ball bearings are designed to support axial loads in a single direction while allowing rotation between machine components. They consist of two washers (raceways) with rolling balls positioned between them, providing efficient load distribution perpendicular to the shaft axis.

These bearings are commonly used in automotive transmissions, marine propeller shafts, machine tool spindles, and other applications where pure thrust loads must be accommodated. They are suitable for moderate speed operations where axial loads predominate over radial forces.
