Radial thrust ball bearings and bearing units are robust and ready-to-install machine elements for designing economical bearing arrangements. These products have proven their efficiency over the years and are available in many different series. Basically, they consist of a radial ball bearing mounted on a bearing.

The bearing and the outer ring of the bearing have a spherical profile and are compatible with each other. In this way, the bearing ring in the bearing is adjusted against static shaft misalignments. Thanks to the special mounting type (mainly eccentric locking collars or setscrews), it is easy to fix radial thrust ball bearings on the shaft. They are very easy to install, especially when used with pull rods.
