Thrust ball bearings are designed to sustain large axial loads with minimal friction and smooth rotation. They can withstand both axial (thrust) and radial loads and are made to support mostly axial loads. Thrust ball bearings can be employed in low thrust applications with less axial load since they are made of bearing balls supported in a ring. Its main duties include providing support for the mechanically rotating body, lowering friction while in motion, and guaranteeing turning precision.
