Bearings
Thrust Bearings
Designed to handle axial loads (parallel to the shaft). Available as ball or roller bearings. Used in vertical shafts and swivel mechanisms.
Not suitable for large radial loads—deep groove ball bearings are better.
Deep Groove Ball Bearings
A versatile bearing type with deep grooves in the rings.
Handles both radial and axial loads. Common in electric motors and lumber cart wheels.
Long lifespan and low friction.
Flange Bearings
Bearings with an integrated mounting flange for easy installation. Typically used with fixed-position shafts.
Available as ball, roller, or plain bearings in flange housings.
