Product Overview: The 51114 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51114 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-quality component specifically engineered to manage axial loads in a single direction. With precise dimensions of 70mm Bore Diameter, 95mm Outer Diameter, and 18mm Thickness, this bearing is an integral part of our 51100 Series, a popular choice within our extensive range of Thrust Ball Bearings. Its design features separable components—a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly—which simplifies mounting and inspection processes. This bearing is not suitable for radial loads, but it excels in applications requiring high-thrust capacity and precise axial support for rotating shafts.
As a trusted supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 51114 bearings meet rigorous industry standards, providing dependable performance for your machinery. They are essential for ensuring smooth and efficient operation in various vertical shaft applications and other equipment where axial forces are predominant.
Key Features of the 51114 Bearing
- Separable Components: The shaft washer, housing washer, and ball cage assembly can be mounted separately, simplifying installation and maintenance.
- High Axial Load Capacity: Specifically designed to accommodate heavy axial (thrust) loads in one direction.
- Precision Engineered: Manufactured to tight tolerances to ensure smooth, low-friction operation and accurate shaft location.
- Durable Steel Construction: Made from high-grade bearing steel for superior hardness, wear resistance, and long operational life.
- Single-Direction Design: Optimized for managing thrust forces exclusively from one direction, providing stability in specific applications.
- Interchangeable: Conforms to international standards, making it easy to replace bearings from other manufacturers.
Common Applications of 51114 Bearings
- Machine Tool Spindles: Provides the necessary axial rigidity and precision for lathes, milling machines, and grinders.
- Vertical Shafts: Ideal for supporting vertical pumps, motors, and gearbox shafts where the primary load is axial.
- Automotive Clutches: Used as clutch release bearings to handle the axial force required to engage and disengage the clutch.
- Industrial Jacks and Lifts: Essential in screw jacks and lifting mechanisms to support heavy vertical loads.
- Rotating Tables and Indexing Fixtures: Ensures smooth rotation and precise positioning in turntables and indexing heads.
- Cranes and Hoists: Utilized in crane hooks and hoisting equipment to manage the significant axial loads during lifting operations.
- Drilling Equipment: Supports the thrust loads generated during drilling and boring operations in industrial machinery.
