Product Overview: The 51138M Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51138M is a high-performance single-direction Thrust Ball Bearing, engineered to manage high axial loads in one direction. With dimensions of 190x240x37mm, this bearing is a key component in our 51100 Series, known for its reliability and precision. The 'M' suffix signifies that it is equipped with a robust machined brass cage, which provides superior strength and is suitable for high-speed applications and demanding operating conditions. This bearing's design consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly, which simplifies mounting and inspection processes.
As a specialist supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 51138M bearings meet stringent quality standards. They are designed to provide high stiffness and require minimal axial space, making them ideal for a wide range of industrial machinery where precise axial support is critical.
