The problem with the bearings you indicate is that they are not 
'thrust bearings!"

A thrust bearing is a particular type of rotary 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bearing_%28mechanical%29>bearing. Like 
other rotary bearings they permit rotation between parts, but they 
are designed to support a high 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial>axial load while doing this.
