- Auburn Ball Bearing
manufactures an exclusive line of thrust bearings that are
specifically designed to reduce rolling friction. Instead of the
usual round groove ball track certain Auburn bearings incorporate a
"V" groove raceway. This "V" groove design distributes the load
evenly over the balls as they travel on four points of contact,
creating a straight line rolling effect and decreasing the amount of
friction created by a full contact round groove design. The Auburn
styles that incorporate the "V" groove design have the added
advantage of being able to carry radial loads equal to 25% of their
thrust load capacity.
