🔍 Key Concepts

• Function of a thrust bearing in rotating machinery • Difference between radial support (side-to-side shaft support) and axial support (endwise shaft movement) • Typical bearing types used in steam or gas turbines

💭 Think About

• Which bearing type is specifically designed to take axial (endwise) loads rather than just radial loads? • In a turbine, what kind of bearing keeps the rotor from moving too far forward or aft along its shaft line? • Look at each option: which one’s main purpose is to carry the thrust generated by the turbine rather than just to keep the shaft centered?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which listed bearing is clearly associated with thrust or axial load control in its name or design. • Eliminate bearing types that are primarily known for radial (journal) support only. • Ask yourself: In turbine construction, which of these would be installed to prevent endwise movement of the rotor?
