Pump, spindle or steering gear taking load along the shaft? Tell us the bore and the direction of thrust and we will quote from stock. We hold the 51100, 51200, 51300 and 51400 single direction series and the 52200 and 52300 double direction series, 10 mm to 260 mm, with flat or self-aligning spherical seat washers. A thrust ball bearing is built the other way round to a radial bearing — two grooved washers with a ball and cage between them, carrying axial load rather than radial.
A thrust ball bearing consists of two grooved washers — a shaft washer and a housing washer — with a ball-and-cage assembly running between them. This design sets it apart from a standard radial bearing: a radial bearing carries load perpendicular to the shaft, while a thrust bearing is built specifically to carry axial (thrust) load along the shaft axis, and is not meant to support radial load.
A Single Direction Thrust Ball Bearing supports thrust in one direction only and is the most widely used configuration. A Double Direction Thrust Ball Bearing uses a shared central shaft washer between two housing washers, allowing it to support thrust load from both directions on the same shaft — commonly used where the shaft experiences reversing loads.
| If your application involves… | Recommended series |
|---|---|
| Light load, small pump or valve | 51100 series |
| General industrial use, most common choice | 51200 series |
| Heavy load, press or jack | 51300 / 51400 series |
| Reversing / bidirectional thrust | 52200 / 52300 series |
| Shaft-housing misalignment risk | Aligning seat (spherical washer) |
| Wet, food-grade or marine environment | Stainless Steel Thrust Bearing |

Light-duty single direction thrust ball bearing with a flat seat, suited for light axial loads at moderate speeds — small pumps, valves, and instrumentation.
Medium-duty single direction thrust ball bearing with larger balls and wider washers than the 51100 series, offering higher axial load capacity. This is the most widely used thrust ball series in general industry.
Heavy-duty single direction thrust ball bearing built for high axial loads at low to moderate speeds — used in presses, jacks, and heavy industrial machinery.
Double Direction Thrust Ball Bearing with a central shaft washer shared between two housing washers, supporting axial loads from both directions on the same shaft — ideal where thrust reverses in operation.
A variant with a spherical housing washer seat that self-aligns to compensate for shaft misalignment or housing squareness error, preventing uneven ball loading and premature failure.
Standard cylindrical bore thrust ball bearings for straight shaft mounting, plus tapered-bore variants for interference-fit mounting without a separate sleeve.

51100 and 51200 series thrust ball bearings support the full weight of the rotating shaft and impeller assembly in vertical pump and motor installations.
Thrust ball bearings absorb axial cutting forces in lathe, milling, and grinding spindles, often paired with a radial bearing for combined support in precision machine design.
Thrust ball bearings in steering columns and kingpins support axial load while allowing smooth rotational movement.
Heavy 51300/51400 series bearings support high axial thrust from screw jacks, valve stems, and mechanical presses under static or slow-rotating load.
We supply genuine thrust bearings from the world's leading manufacturers — with full traceability and warranty.

Our vertical pump shafts run on 51100 series thrust ball bearings we source from Pragati. Their team confirmed the correct series and dispatched within a day — no downtime on our production line.
We needed a double direction thrust ball bearing for a reversing-load application and weren't sure of the right series. Pragati's team recommended the 52200 series and cross-referenced our old part number in under an hour.
We source stainless steel thrust bearings for our marine pump assemblies, and corrosion resistance is non-negotiable for us. Pragati has never sent us a wrong grade, and their technical team actually understands marine-duty requirements — not just generic bearing specs.
Sourced through ISO 9001 certified manufacturing channels.
