Can we get this terminology right?
Thrust bearings take AXIAL loads off members, like the prop shaft on a ship.
They don’t take lateral loads as a main function.
Yes, there are some ball and roller bearings with tilted races that can take 
some lateral load.
I don’t know if they have a special name?

Even your auto’s crankshaft has a thrust bearing!
