Operating conditions and design constraints dictate which type makes sense. Thrust bearings support axial loads on rotating shafts. Designs range from simple, coin-sized flat washers in household ...

In a sense, thrust bearings are 90° angular-contact bearings. In a sense, thrust bearings are 90° angular-contact bearings. They support pure thrust loads at moderate speeds, but for practical ...

That is, thrust bearings where both end ‘washers’ are groved to form a ball-race, and: one washer is sized to clear the 8mm shaft and fit the 16mm bore, while the other is sized to fit the 8mm shaft ...

These days, it’s common among us hackers to load a stepper motor with forces in-line with their shaft–especially when we couple them to leadscrews or worm gears. Unfortunately, steppers aren’t really ...

Garrett's dual ball-bearing turbos were originally designed for diesel engines. Diesels were known to produce throttle tip-in smoking. The smoke was the byproduct of a rich condition that occurs after ...
