Ball Pein Hammers

Ball thrust bearings carry axial loads in machinery that requires rotation between different parts. Depending on the bearing type, they support loads in either one or two directions. Ball thrust bearings contain two grooved washers and a cage that separates and spaces the bearing's spherical rolling elements. These spherical rolling elements, also called bearing balls, have a small contact area that allows them to operate at high speeds without failing but does not distribute weight well. This means ball thrust bearings cannot carry heavy loads.
