Step thrust bearings use a coined or etched step. As such, they are well suited to mass-produced small bearings and thrust washers. They work with low-viscosity fluids such as water, ...

Duplex bearings are match-ground, so their inner and outer ring faces have identical stickout under a nominal thrust load. When a duplexed pair is mounted either back-to-back or face-to-face, the ...

Installing the wrong-offset auto trans flexplate on a small-block Ford may cause main engine thrust bearing wear. C4/AOD and C6/E4OD units aren’t the same!

There, a single thrust bearing could take out any axial play and lead to an overall rigid build. We love simple machine-design nuggets of wisdom like these.

Many conventional journal- bearing turbos use a 270-degree thrust-bearing washer (at left), while the new breed of conventional and ball-bearing turbos employ 360-degree thrust bearings.

These thrust bearings do the work of redirecting the force off the shaft and directly onto the motor casing, a much more rigid place to apply such loads. This trick is dead simple, ...

Inspection of the thrust collar and thrust bearing (C-shaped one) show these are also good. Oil flows through the canal (A) in the thrust bearing shown in the picture, and if there was a problem ...

The LiftSystem also includes a 3 Bearing Swivel Module (3BSM) and a pair of Roll Posts. The 3BSM is mounted to the main engine's exhausts and twists to direct thrust downward at a 95-degree angle ...

A forklift rental company in the Cape winelands, South Africa, is experiencing less downtime, expenditure and fewer equipment repairs thanks to the introduction of Vesconite king pin and thrust ...

Watch as a skilled blacksmith brings new life to an old, rusty bearing by transforming it into five functional and sharp axes in this remarkable project. Weighing just 5.572 grams, the bearing is ...
