Product Overview: The 51105 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51105 bearing is a high-performance single-direction thrust ball bearing, an essential component within our 51100 Series of Thrust Ball Bearings. With precise dimensions of a 25mm bore diameter, 42mm outer diameter, and 11mm thickness, this bearing is engineered specifically to manage axial loads in one direction. Its design consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly, which simplifies mounting and maintenance procedures.
As a specialized component, the 51105 is not designed to accommodate any radial load. Its primary function is to provide a low-friction solution for rotational applications subjected to heavy thrust forces. Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, this component ensures durability and reliable performance in a wide range of industrial machinery. Trust our expertise as a leading supplier to provide the ideal thrust ball bearing for your specific application needs.
