What is a thrust bearingused for

When axial loads combine with high speeds, heavy loads or other challenging conditions, Timken thrust bearings deliver optimum performance. We offer a comprehensive range of thrust bearings in standard as well as custom designs, meeting stringent specifications required for nearly any application.

What is a thrust bearingmade of

​Tapered thrust-type bearings are engineered for true rolling motion, which offers increased bearing life and additional load-bearing capacity.
