Miniature thrust bearings

Miniature thrust bearings (or axial bearings) are available with bore sizes as small as 2mm. Miniature thrust bearings are normally supplied in SAE52100 chrome steel with brass retainers but can also be manufactured in stainless steel (possibly subject to minimum requirements).Miniature thrust bearings can withstand axial or thrust loads only. Miniature thrust bearings with flat washers can take thrust loads in both directions. Miniature thrust bearings with grovved washers will take heavier thrust loads but in one direction only.
