Q: Axial bearing VS thrust bearing what's the difference?

Radial bearings: Rolling bearings mainly used for bearing radial loads, whose nominal contact angle is in the range of 0 ° to 45 °.

Thrust bearings (thrust bearings) are generally composed of two or more thrust washers and a number of rolling bodies. Generally, thrust washers are divided into shaft plates and seat plates. The most common type of rolling body is generally composed of The iron or copper cage is combined into a whole.

Thrust bearings are divided into thrust ball bearings and thrust roller bearings. Planar thrust bearings mainly bear axial loads in assemblies, and they are widely used.
