Compact thrust bearing assemblies, mechanical assemblies including the compact thrust bearing assemblies, and methods of providing limited rotational motion in a compact thrust bearing assembly are disclosed herein. The thrust bearing assemblies (100) include a plurality of rigid load-bearing structures (110) arranged in a layered stack (120) that defines a first end (130) and an opposed second end (140). The thrust bearing assemblies further include a plurality of rotation-limiting structures (170) configured to restrict relative rotation between adjacent pairs of rigid load-bearing structures. The thrust bearing assemblies also include a first load-receiving surface (132) configured to receive a first thrust load (32) and a second load-receiving surface (142) configured to receive a second thrust load (42). The methods include methods of providing limited rotational motion in a thrust bearing assembly.
