Thrust bearings support or guide a shaft subjected to axial loads along its axis of rotation. There are two main types of thrust bearings: 1) footstep or pivot bearings where the vertical loaded shaft rests within the bearing, and 2) collar bearings where the shaft continues through the bearing, which can be vertical or horizontal with a single or multiple collars. Thrust bearings are commonly used in turbines and propeller shafts to handle axial loads on the shaft.

By: Manojkumar M, 312217114060 In thrust bearings, the load acts along the axis of rotation Types of thrust bearings:
A thrust bearing is used to guide or support the shaft which is subjected to a
load along the axi off the shaft. Such type of bearings are mainly used in turbines and propeller shafts. The thrust bearing are of the following two types : 1. Foot step or pivot bearings 2. Collar bearings. Footstep / Pivot bearing:
In a foot step or pivot bearing, the loaded
shaft is vertical and the end of the shaft rests within the bearing. In case of collar bearing, the shaft continues through the bearing. The shaft may be vertical or horizontal with single collar or many collars
