Thrust bearings are used to carry axial loads. They are also called axial bearings. Similar to a radial bearing, a thrust bearing includes two races, a set of rolling elements, and a cage for holding the rolling elements. The main difference between axial (thrust) bearings and radial bearings is the arrangement of the bearing races. In an axial bearing, two races are arranged side by side in a parallel arrangement along the axial direction. The rolling body is sandwiched between the two races. According to the geometry of the rolling elements, thrust bearings are divided into thrust ball bearings, thrust roller bearings and thrust needle roller bearings.
