Product Overview: The 51144 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51144 bearing is a high-performance, single-direction thrust ball bearing designed to manage heavy axial loads in a single direction. With dimensions of 220x270x37mm, this component is part of our extensive 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 is specifically engineered to handle loads parallel to the axis of the shaft and must not be subjected to any radial load.
As a specialist supplier of industrial components, we provide 51144 bearings manufactured to stringent quality standards, ensuring reliability and a long service life. These bearings are essential in applications requiring high-precision axial support, such as in vertical machinery and high-load screw mechanisms. Explore our complete range of thrust ball bearings to find the ideal solution for your specific industrial requirements.
Features of the 51144 Bearing
- Separable Components: The shaft washer, housing washer, and ball and cage assembly are separate, allowing for simple and convenient installation and maintenance.
- High Axial Load Capacity: Specifically designed to accommodate heavy thrust loads in one direction, providing robust support.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to precise tolerances for smooth, low-friction operation and accurate rotational control.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-grade bearing steel for superior hardness, wear resistance, and longevity under demanding conditions.
- Grooved Raceways: Features deep, uninterrupted raceways on both washers to effectively distribute axial loads and support high-speed capabilities.
- Interchangeability: The separable components are interchangeable, offering flexibility during assembly and replacement.
