Thrust Bearings from xiros®

Maintenance-free, lightweight thrust ball bearings designed for axial loads

xiros® thrust bearings are engineered from xirodur® high-performance polymers, offering a lightweight and corrosion-resistant alternative to metal thrust bearings. Designed specifically to absorb axial loads, each thrust bearing consists of an inner and outer race, as well as a cage, all crafted from xirodur® polymer to ensure smooth operation and durability. With vibration-dampening capabilities up to 250 times greater than metallic bearings, these thrust bearings deliver smooth, quiet performance with outstanding wear resistance.

Requiring no external lubrication or ongoing maintenance, xiros® thrust bearings are ideal for various demanding applications, from medical cleanroom equipment to dusty packaging environments and FDA-compliant food contact applications. Experience high performance with a thrust bearing designed to meet diverse industry needs.

How is a xiros® thrust bearing designed?

xiros® thrust bearings consist of an outer and inner race, as well as the cage, which are all made of xirodur® high performance polymers. The plastic material is dry-running due to microscopic lubricating particles embedded inside the polymers. The rolling elements, or balls, are made of stainless steel or glass depending on the application they are intended for. Further properties include:

Corrosion resistant
Non-magnetic (when used with glass balls)
Chemical-resistant

The dimensions of xiros® thrust bearings are based on the DIN 711 standard. Thrust bearings are available as single and double-row deep groove ball bearings. The double-row thrust bearings are intended for higher axial loads.
