These are just a few examples of the many types of machines and equipment that rely on bearings to facilitate motion, reduce friction, and support loads. Bearings play a fundamental role in the functionality and performance of a wide array of mechanical systems.

Thrust Bearings: Thrust bearings are designed to support axial loads and provide high axial rigidity. They come in various configurations, including ball thrust bearings, roller thrust bearings, and fluid thrust bearings. Thrust bearings are commonly used in applications such as automotive transmissions, machine tool spindles, and aerospace equipment, where axial load support and precise motion control are critical.
