Thrust Ball Bearings Installation
Thrust ball bearing is a type of rolling bearing designed to handle axial loads, allowing the shaft to rotate or move in one direction while preventing motion in the opposite direction. It consists of three main components: the shaft washer, the housing washer, and the ball-and-cage assembly.
The usual steps for installing a thrust ball bearing are as follows: First, install the housing washer, then place the cage with steel ball assembly on top, and finally add the shaft washer. The shaft washer secures the shaft's axis and allows it to rotate. Detailed steps with Below are the detailed steps with illustrated demonstrations.
Prepare a set of thrust ball bearing components, including the housing washer, shaft washer, and the ball-and-cage assembly.
Place the housing washer/shaft washer near the fixed component (in practical applications, this part is positioned close to the fixed location), as shown in the picture right.
Install the cage with steel ball assembly above the housing washer (or shaft washer).
Add the shaft washer (or housing washer), as shown in the picture right.
A fully assembled thrust ball bearing is shown in the left picture.
The fitting of thrust bearings with the axis is generally transitional, and the fitting of the ring with the bearing bore is a clearance fit. Therefore, this type of bearing is easier to install.
