Thrust Bearings Thrust bearings are used on rotating shafts, such as those supporting bevel gears, worm gears, propellers, and fans. They resist axial thrust or force and limit axial

They are used chiefly on heavy machinery, such as Kingsbury thrust bearings used in heavy marine-propelling machinery (figs. 11-2 and 11-3). The base of the housing holds an oil bath, and the rotation of the shaft continually distributes the oil. The bearing consists of a thrust collar on the propeller shaft and two or more stationary thrust shoes on either side of the collar. Thrust is transmitted from the collar through the shoes to the gear housing and the ships structure to which the gear housing is bolted. |
