In rotating equipment, axial load control is just as critical as radial support. A shaft thrust bearing is designed to carry axial forces generated by pumps, vertical motors, propeller shafts, and marine drive systems. Techemer offers water-lubricated shaft thrust bearings engineered for stable performance, low friction, and long service life in demanding operating conditions.
Unlike traditional oil-lubricated metal thrust bearings, our polymer-based solution works directly with water as the lubricant—simple, clean, and reliable.
What Is a Shaft Thrust Bearing?
A thrust bearing shaft system is used to absorb axial (thrust) loads acting along the shaft axis. These loads are common in:
Vertical pumps and motors
Marine propulsion systems
Propeller shaft assemblies
Hydropower and industrial rotating equipment
A properly selected vertical shaft thrust bearing prevents axial movement, protects connected components, and ensures smooth, stable operation.
Thrust Bearing for Vertical Shaft – Typical Applications
Techemer vertical shaft thrust bearings are widely used in:
Vertical water pumps
Submersible and mixed-flow pumps
Vertical motors and generators
1755164739832-
Hydro units
Marine propeller shaft systems
In these applications, thrust loads are continuous and often combined with water exposure, making water-lubricated materials a practical choice.
Propeller Shaft Thrust Bearing in Marine Systems
In marine propulsion, a propeller shaft thrust bearing transfers axial force from the propeller to the hull structure. Our thrust bearing for propeller shaft applications is designed to:
Handle continuous axial load
Operate reliably in seawater or freshwater
Reduce friction and noise
Minimize maintenance requirements
This makes it an ideal solution for workboats, inland vessels, and marine auxiliary systems.

Why Choose Water-Lubricated Shaft Thrust Bearings?
Compared with oil-lubricated metal bearings, water-lubricated shaft thrust bearings offer clear advantages:
Low Friction & Stable Load Capacity
The polymer bearing surface forms a stable water film, reducing friction while maintaining consistent thrust load support.
Outstanding Load-Bearing Capacity
The dynamic surface pressure can reach up to 10 MPa, supporting high-load operations with ease.
Corrosion-Free Operation
Water-lubricated thrust bearings eliminate corrosion risks associated with metal-on-metal contact in wet environments.
Clean and Environmentally Friendly
No oil, no grease, and no risk of leakage—ideal for environmentally sensitive applications.

Shaft Thrust Bearing vs. Thrust Bearing and Guide Bearing
In many systems, guide bearings handle radial loads, while shaft thrust bearings manage axial loads. Techemer can supply both components as a matched bearing system, ensuring:
Proper shaft alignment
