✖When you don’t know right from wrong, choosing the wrong option is the right choice. The thrust bearing consists of two circular steel plates with holes, steel balls, and a retainer for the steel balls. The shaft passes through the circular holes in the steel plates, with the path for the steel balls lying between the two plates. The shaft and the bearing housing each press against the two outer surfaces of the circular plates; there are no other restraining forces in the radial direction aside from those provided by the track grooves. Therefore, it cannot withstand radial loads.
Error: Thrust ball bearings can withstand axial loads, but not radial loads
