Axial Bearings in Rotterdam at Spares Center Rotterdam (SCR)
At Spares Center Rotterdam B.V. (SCR) you will find a complete range of
axial bearings in Rotterdam.
These bearings are designed to carry loads along the shaft direction, which makes them essential for many industrial, maritime and offshore applications.
Whether you need compact ball types for precise movement or heavy-duty roller solutions for extreme thrust loads, our team is happy to help you find the right fit.
Thanks to our central location in the port of Rotterdam we can deliver quickly, both locally and worldwide.
What are axial bearings?
Axial bearings, sometimes called thrust bearings, are designed to support forces that act in line with the shaft.
In contrast to radial bearings, which deal with loads that act perpendicular to the shaft, axial bearings ensure stability in applications where push and pull forces are dominant.
They are used in gearboxes, pumps, turbines, marine propulsion systems and many other machines where reliable axial support is essential.
By reducing friction and wear, they extend the lifetime of critical components and keep operations running smoothly.
Axial Ball Bearings
Axial ball bearings are the preferred choice when you need smooth operation and low friction.
They consist of a shaft washer, housing washer and a set of precision balls that allow accurate movement under thrust loads.
These bearings are suitable for applications with moderate speeds and lighter to medium loads, such as pumps, small gear units and precision machinery.
Because of their design they can only handle axial forces, making them ideal for situations where radial loads are not present.
Axial Roller Bearings
For heavier applications, axial roller bearings are the right solution.
Instead of balls they use cylindrical or needle-shaped rollers, which create a larger contact surface and allow much higher load capacities.
These bearings are often found in heavy-duty gearboxes, ship engines, industrial presses and energy equipment where reliability under constant thrust load is crucial.
Their robust construction makes them suitable for extreme environments, while proper lubrication ensures long service life.
Combined Axial/Radial Bearings
Some applications face both axial and radial forces at the same time.
In those cases our combined axial/radial bearings offer the perfect compromise.
They are designed to absorb thrust along the shaft as well as radial forces perpendicular to the shaft, making them compact and efficient for complex load conditions.
These bearings are especially useful in drives, lifting equipment and rotating machinery that must handle multi-directional stresses without failure.
Where are axial bearings used?
You will find axial bearings across many industries. In the maritime sector they are used in propulsion systems and winches.
In energy generation they play an important role in turbines and large pumps.
In the chemical industry they help keep mixers and process equipment running, while in general machinery they ensure smooth rotation under axial load.
Wherever forces act directly along the shaft, an axial bearing provides the reliability and efficiency you need.
