Product Overview: The 51140 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51140 bearing is a high-performance, single-direction thrust ball bearing designed to manage significant axial loads. As a key component in our 51100 Series, this bearing is engineered with dimensions of 200x250x37mm. Its primary function is to support thrust loads in one direction, making it an essential part of machinery where axial forces are predominant. The design consists of a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly, which are separable. This feature simplifies mounting and allows for easy inspection and maintenance.
Manufactured to precise industry standards, the 51140 provides high stiffness and operational accuracy. It is an ideal choice for applications that require reliable axial support but do not encounter radial loads. Our comprehensive selection of Thrust Ball Bearings ensures you can find the perfect solution for your specific industrial requirements, guaranteeing both performance and longevity.
