New product options:
Our customers don't have to wait. We maintain a full, off-the-shelf inventory of thrust bearings, across chrome steel, stainless, ceramic hybrid, and full ceramic—in both metric and inch sizes, so engineers can move from concept to production without delays.
Materials: Chrome steel, stainless steel, ceramic hybrid (steel races with ceramic balls), and full ceramic (ZrO2 and Si3N4)
Sizes: Metric and inch
Types: Flat washer and grooved washer
Rolling elements: Ball, needle, and roller
Performance highlights:
Axial load support: Engineered for side/axial loads with options to match static and dynamic load requirements
Speed capability: Higher RPM in oil vs. grease; application-specific guidance available
Temperature and corrosion: Full ceramic thrust bearings operate from -70°C to 260°C and excel in harsh, corrosive, or high-temperature environments
Efficiency: Ceramic balls are up to 40% lighter than steel, reducing rolling resistance, friction, and energy consumption
Lubrication flexibility: Full ceramic and ceramic hybrid thrust bearings can operate without lubrication in select applications
Engineering support:
Application matching by bore, OD, and width
Load and speed ratings available upon request
No minimum order quantities; support from prototyping to production
Wholesale discounts available

Boston Dynamics Webinar - Why Humanoids Are the Future of Manufacturing
Join us November 18th for this Webinar as we reflect on what we've learned by observing factory floors, and why we've grown convinced that chasing generalization in manipulation—both in hardware and behavior—isn't just interesting, but necessary. We'll discuss AI research threads we're exploring at Boston Dynamics to push this mission forward, and highlight opportunities our field should collectively invest more in to turn the humanoid vision, and the reinvention of manufacturing, into a practical, economically viable product.
