BA8 SKF thrust ball bearing, double direction

SKF thrust ball bearings are designed to accommodate axial loads only and must not be subjected to any radial load. The separable components of SKF thrust ball bearings are interchangeable (This facilitates mounting and dismounting, and maintenance inspections. Shaft washers have a ground bore to enable an interference fit. The bore of the housing washer is turned and always larger than the shaft washer bore. Bearings with sphered housing washer can accommodate initial misalignment. Double direction thrust ball bearings consist of one shaft washer, two housing washers and two ball and cage assemblies. They can accommodate axial loads and locate a shaft axially, in both directions.
