The thrust bearing bears its name because only compressive forces can be transmitted between the two plain bearing parts. In contrast to a radial bearing, the contact angle of an axial bearing is increased to 90 degrees, which means that only axial loads are generated, i.e. forces in the direction of the axle or shaft. The load is then distributed evenly across all rolling elements of the component.   <\/p><p class=\"text-[12.8px] font-[300] leading-[20px] tracking-[.256px] lg:text-[16px] lg:font-[300] lg:leading-[24px] lg:tracking-[.32px] xl:text-[20px] xl:font-[300] xl:leading-[32px] xl:tracking-[.4px]\">Thrust bearings can be rolling bearings or plain bearings and are often used in combination with radial bearings.<\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-span-2 flex flex-col items-start gap-16 lg:col-span-1 lg:items-end lg:gap-32 [&amp;_h1]:w-auto [&amp;_h1]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h1]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h1]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h1]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h1]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h1]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h1]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h2]:w-auto [&amp;_h2]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h2]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h2]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h2]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h2]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h2]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h2]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h3]:w-auto [&amp;_h3]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h3]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h3]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h3]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h3]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h3]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h3]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h4]:w-auto [&amp;_h4]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h4]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h4]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h4]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h4]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h4]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h4]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h5]:w-auto [&amp;_h5]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h5]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h5]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h5]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h5]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h5]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h5]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h6]:w-auto [&amp;_h6]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h6]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h6]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h6]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h6]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h6]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h6]:before:rotate-180\"><h2 class=\"text-[20px] font-[600] leading-[32px] mt-8 mb-6\">Different types of thrust bearing<\/h2><div class=\"mb-7 flex w-full flex-col gap-3\"><p class=\"text-[12.8px] font-[300] leading-[20px] tracking-[.256px] lg:text-[16px] lg:font-[300] lg:leading-[24px] lg:tracking-[.32px] xl:text-[20px] xl:font-[300] xl:leading-[32px] xl:tracking-[.4px]\">Thrust bearings are found as classic axial bearings, but also as special designs such as swivel bearings, slewing rings and axial angular contact ball bearings.

The axial loads are thus transferred to the boat&#8217;s hull, the boat&#8217;s engine is free of propeller forces and is mounted elastically. The result of this shaft Coupling is much less noise and vibration, and it also dampens torsional vibrations and shocks. Structure-borne noise is also prevented. The highly flexible CENTAFLEX AGM and CENTAFLEX ACV couplings have proven themselves for many years as high-quality, damping drive systems on various types of ships and boats. They were specially developed for use as a connection between the reversing gear and propeller shaft in yachts and boats.     <\/p><p class=\"text-[12.8px] font-[300] leading-[20px] tracking-[.256px] lg:text-[16px] lg:font-[300] lg:leading-[24px] lg:tracking-[.32px] xl:text-[20px] xl:font-[300] xl:leading-[32px] xl:tracking-[.4px]\">The CENTAFLEX AGM is suitable for connections with moderate angular deviations of around 1 degree. The angles for the CENTAFLEX element and those for the VC joint should be as small as possible to ensure the longest possible trouble-free operating time. However, it is important that the angle for the CV joint is at least 1 degree, only then is the lubrication of the ball guaranteed.  <\/p><p class=\"text-[12.8px] font-[300] leading-[20px]

stability and smooth running for both large and small agricultural machines. In vehicle construction, it is a component in the Coupling that creates a connection between the clutch pressure plate, which rotates, and the fixed release mechanism. This is why they are also called release bearings. Thrust bearings in vehicles ensure smooth starting and stopping.   <\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-span-2 flex flex-col items-start gap-16 lg:col-span-1 lg:items-end lg:gap-32 [&amp;_h1]:w-auto [&amp;_h1]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h1]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h1]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h1]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h1]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h1]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h1]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h2]:w-auto [&amp;_h2]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h2]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h2]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h2]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h2]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h2]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h2]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h3]:w-auto [&amp;_h3]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h3]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h3]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h3]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h3]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h3]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h3]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h4]:w-auto [&amp;_h4]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h4]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h4]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h4]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h4]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h4]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h4]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h5]:w-auto [&amp;_h5]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h5]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h5]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h5]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h5]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h5]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h5]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h6]:w-auto [&amp;_h6]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h6]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h6]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h6]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h6]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h6]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h6]:before:rotate-180\"><div class=\"mb-7 flex w-full flex-col gap-3\"><p class=\"text-[12.8px] font-[300] leading-[20px] tracking-[.256px] lg:text-[16px] lg:font-[300] lg:leading-[24px] lg:tracking-[.32px] xl:text-[20px] xl:font-[300] xl:leading-[32px] xl:tracking-[.4px]\"><strong class=\"text-[12.8px] font-[300] leading-[20px] tracking-[.256px] lg:text-[16px] lg:font-[300] lg:leading-[24px] lg:tracking-[.32px] xl:text-[20px] xl:font-[300] xl:leading-[32px] xl:tracking-[.4px]\"><span class=\"font-semibold\">Thrust bearings in the industry<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p class=\"text-[12.8px] font-[300] leading-[20px] tracking-[.256px] lg:text-[16px] lg:font-[300] lg:leading-[24px] lg:tracking-[.32px] xl:text-[20px] xl:font-[300] xl:leading-[32px] xl:tracking-[.4px]\">Thrust bearings are also used in industry, particularly in mechanical engineering and plant construction, where highly flexible couplings in modern machinery and plant ensure that production runs smoothly and comparatively quietly.<\/p><p class=\"text-[12.8px] font-[300] leading-[20px] tracking-[.256px] lg:text-[16px] lg:font-[300] lg:leading-[24px] lg:tracking-[.32px] xl:text-[20px] xl:font-[300] xl:leading-[32px] xl:tracking-[.4px]\"><strong class=\"text-[12.8px] font-[300] leading-[20px] tracking-[.256px] lg:text-[16px] lg:font-[300] lg:leading-[24px] lg:tracking-[.32px] xl:text-[20px] xl:font-[300] xl:leading-[32px] xl:tracking-[.4px]\"><span class=\"font-semibold\">Energy supply: The use of thrust bearings<\/span><\/strong><\/p><p class=\"text-[12.8px] font-[300] leading-[20px] tracking-[.256px] lg:text-[16px] lg:font-[300] lg:leading-[24px] lg:tracking-[.32px] xl:text-[20px] xl:font-[300] xl:leading-[32px] xl:tracking-[.4px]\">Companies in the energy supply sector and operators of energy supply systems also rely on optimally functioning, modern, safety-tested thrust bearings in their drive systems.

Highly flexible couplings with modern thrust bearings already reduce this to a large extent, but friction cannot be completely eliminated. It is therefore necessary to maintain and clean them regularly. Dirt residue, swarf and similar material can build up and lead to loss of performance, excessive wear and premature end of life of the Coupling or thrust bearing. Regular cleaning and an automatic lubricant supply can prevent this.    <\/p><\/div><\/div><div class=\"col-span-2 flex flex-col items-start gap-16 lg:col-span-1 lg:items-end lg:gap-32 [&amp;_h1]:w-auto [&amp;_h1]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h1]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h1]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h1]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h1]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h1]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h1]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h2]:w-auto [&amp;_h2]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h2]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h2]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h2]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h2]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h2]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h2]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h3]:w-auto [&amp;_h3]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h3]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h3]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h3]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h3]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h3]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h3]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h4]:w-auto [&amp;_h4]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h4]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h4]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h4]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h4]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h4]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h4]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h5]:w-auto [&amp;_h5]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h5]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h5]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h5]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h5]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h5]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h5]:before:rotate-180 [&amp;_h6]:w-auto [&amp;_h6]:before:left-auto [&amp;_h6]:before:-right-[1rem] md:[&amp;_h6]:before:-right-[3rem] [&amp;_h6]:before:w-screen xl:[&amp;_h6]:before:w-[120px] [&amp;_h6]:before:translate-x-full [&amp;_h6]:before:rotate-180\"><div class=\"mb-7 flex w-full flex-col gap-3\"><p class=\"text-[12.8px] font-[300] leading-[20px] tracking-[.256px] lg:text-[16px] lg:font-[300] lg:leading-[24px] lg:tracking-[.32px] xl:text-[20px] xl:font-[300] xl:leading-[32px] xl:tracking-[.4px]\">In addition, we can assist you not only with the purchase of thrust bearings, but also with maintenance and repairs.
