Product Overview: The 51126 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51126 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-performance component engineered to manage purely axial (thrust) loads in a single direction. With precise dimensions of 130x170x28mm (Bore Diameter x Outer Diameter x Thickness), this bearing is a key part of our 51100 Series within the broader Thrust Ball Bearings collection. Its design consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly. This separability simplifies the mounting and dismounting process, making it a practical choice for various industrial applications where precise axial positioning of a shaft is critical.
Manufactured to stringent industry standards, the 51126 bearing provides reliable performance in applications where radial loads are supported by a separate bearing. It is designed for low to medium-speed operations, offering a cost-effective and dependable solution for handling thrust forces. As a leading supplier of industrial components, we ensure our thrust bearings deliver exceptional durability and operational efficiency for your machinery.
Key Features of the 51126 Bearing
