Thrust bearings are only capable of sustaining axial loads, however they have a high axial rigity and as such are suitable for heavy loads. There are several basic types of thrust bearings:
- Ball thrust bearings
- Spherical roller thrust bearings
- Cylindrical roller thrust bearings
- Tapered roller thrust bearings
- Needle thrust bearings
