Optimal solutions for axial load applications.
High Axial Load Capacity
Specifically engineered to handle heavy loads acting parallel to the shaft.
Low Friction Operation
Designed to minimize friction and heat generation under axial loads.
Compact Design
Offers space-saving solutions due to their typical compact axial dimensions.
High Rigidity
Provides excellent stiffness for precise axial positioning and load support.
Precision Operation
Ensures accurate movement and alignment for critical applications.
Diverse Types Available
Includes ball, roller, and needle thrust bearings to suit specific load and speed needs.
