Instead of inner and outer rings there are two (or three) flat washers: a shaft washer on the shaft, a housing washer against the housing, with the ball and cage assembly between them.
Takes axial load only and no radial load at all — a separate bearing must carry the radial load. Single-direction types load one way, double-direction types (52xxx) both ways. Permissible speed is low.
Turntables, crane hooks, vertical shafts, screw jacks, machine-tool rotary tables, mills.
Steering columns, wheel hubs, alternators, gearboxes, motors for wipers, windows and seats, and throttle valves.
Handles radial load plus some axial load in compact housings.
Almost any rotating machine, especially electric motors, as well as machine tools, inverters, pumps, gearboxes and food-processing equipment.
Deep groove bearings for motors, angular contact bearings for spindles, pumps and gearboxes, and thrust bearings for axial loads.
