AI Technical Summary
Traditional thrust ball bearings are prone to abnormal movement when subjected to low axial load capacity and high load impact on the cage, leading to wear, noise, and vibration, which affects equipment stability and lifespan.
A vibration damping structure and a limiting structure are installed on the cage. The vibration damping structure absorbs and disperses the impact force through vibration damping steel balls, while the limiting structure restricts the cage movement through staggered ribs, ensuring the normal contact state between the rolling elements and the raceway.
It enhances the axial load capacity of the bearing, extends its service life, reduces the frequency of equipment maintenance, improves operational stability and accuracy, and reduces noise and vibration.
