Product Overview: The 51130M Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51130M is a high-performance single-direction thrust ball bearing, designed to manage high axial loads in one direction. With dimensions of 150x190x31mm, this bearing is a key component in our 51100 Series of Thrust Ball Bearings. Its design is separable, meaning the shaft washer, housing washer, and the ball and cage assembly can be mounted independently, which greatly simplifies installation and maintenance. The 'M' suffix denotes a machined brass cage, which provides superior strength and stability, making it suitable for high-speed and demanding operational conditions.
As a specialist supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we ensure our 51130M bearings meet stringent industry standards. This bearing is engineered to provide reliable axial support, prevent shaft displacement, and ensure smooth, low-friction operation in a wide array of machinery.
