Difference Between One-way Thrust Ball Bearing And Bidirectional Thrust Ball Bearing

What is Thrust Ball Bearings
Thrust ball bearing is designed to withstand thrust load when running at high speed and is composed of washer-like rings with ball rolling raceway groove.
Characteristics of Thrust Ball Bearings
Because the ring is in the shape of seat, thrust ball bearings are divided into two types: flat base cushion type and aligning spherical cushion type.Thrust ball bearings can bear axial loads, but not radial loads
Application of Thrust Ball Bearings
It is only suitable for bearing one axial load and low speed parts, such as crane hook, vertical water pump, vertical centrifuge, jack, low speed reducer and other bearings. The shaft ring seat ring and rolling body are separated and can be assembled and disassembled respectively.

Difference between one-way thrust ball bearing and bidirectional thrust ball bearing
The unidirectional thrust ball bearing consists of a shaft ring, a bearing seat ring, and a ball and cage thrust assembly.The bearing is of detachable construction, so installation is simple because the gasket and ball and cage assembly can be mounted separately.
There are two kinds of small one-way thrust ball bearings, which are respectively with flat seat ring or with aligning seat ring.Bearings with self-aligning seat ring can be used with self-aligning seat washer to compensate for angular alignment errors between the supporting surface in the bearing seat and the shaft.The bi-directional thrust ball bearing consists of a seat bi-directional thrust ball bearing including a shaft ring, two seat rings and two steel ball-cage assembly three parts.
The bearing is of separate type and each part can be installed independently.The shaft ring matched with the shaft can bear the axial load in two directions, and the shaft can be fixed in both directions.This type of bearing must not bear any delivery radial load.Thrust ball bearing also has the structure of seat cushion. Because the mounting surface of the seat cushion is spherical, the bearing has aligning performance, which can reduce the influence of installation error.
Bidirectional bearings and unidirectional bearings use the same shaft ring, seat ring and ball-cage assembly.
