Thrust ball bearing running surface
Thrust ball bearing running surface
(OP)
I wish to make an axial thrust arrangement with caged ball bearing. I need to make the rolling surface or "thrust washer" from attached sketch. What would be best material to use to minimize friction and maximize life?
Needs to be thin (0.5mm), non-magnetic.
Axial loading 2-5 Kg.
Speed 0-500 rpm.
Thanks

I need very low friction so a plain running surface like PTFE would not do.
If there is a plastic around 0.5 mm thick would perform well taking a 2-3mm ball bearing I havn't found it yet.

You can machine the raceways form this material.
