Looking for a reliable way to support axial loads in a single direction? Choose this thrust ball bearing from SKF to reduce friction and helps ensure the smooth rotation of your axles. Separable components mean it's simple to mount and disassemble for maintenance inspections. This feature also saves you from replacing the entire unit as many of the parts are interchangeable. A robust sheet-metal cage resists high pressures and temperatures for long-term durability in demanding conditions. Weighing only 53g, this lightweight unit adds minimal strain to equipment.

• Shaft washers with ground bore for interference fits
• Tough bearing steel balls withstand environmental damage

• Automotive industry
• Marine applications
• Aerospace systems

A high load capacity of 16.3kN and a 9,500rpm limiting speed make this a suitable option for demanding applications.

When your bearing and shaft are in place, position the main cap and lightly apply torque on the bolts. Tap the shaft with a rubber mallet to avoid damage and align the rear bearing halves. Finally, torque the main cap bolts with lubricant for alignment.
