The amount of thrust that a ball bearing can withstand is a critical factor in determining its suitability for various applications. The maximum thrust load capacity of a ball bearing is influenced by several key factors, including the bearing's design, size, material composition, and intended use. Here are some important considerations related to the thrust capacity of ball bearings:

   - Ball Bearing: Ball bearings, including deep groove ball bearings, utilize spherical balls as rolling elements that move between inner and outer raceways. They are primarily designed to support radial loads, with some designs capable of handling limited axial loads. Ball bearings are commonly used in applications where smooth and efficient rotation is required, such as in electric motors, pumps, and gearboxes.
