Product Overview: The 51130 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51130 Thrust Ball Bearing is a precision-engineered component designed to manage purely axial loads in a single direction. With dimensions of 150mm bore diameter, 190mm outer diameter, and 31mm thickness, this bearing is part of our comprehensive 51100 Series of Thrust Ball Bearings. Its design consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly, which simplifies mounting and dismounting procedures. This bearing type is essential for applications where high axial stiffness and precise rotational control are required, but it cannot accommodate any radial load.
As a specialist supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 51130 bearings meet stringent quality standards for reliable performance. They are ideal for low and medium-speed applications requiring robust axial support. Explore our extensive range of thrust ball bearings to find the perfect solution for your machinery's axial load requirements.
