Product Overview: The 51202 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51202 Thrust Ball Bearing, with dimensions of 15x32x12mm, is a specialized component engineered to manage purely axial (thrust) loads in a single direction. As a vital part of our 51200 Series and the broader Thrust Ball Bearings collection, this bearing is designed for precision and reliability. Its unique construction consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly. This design not only facilitates easy mounting and dismounting but also ensures that high axial forces are handled with minimal friction, making it an essential component in a wide range of industrial and mechanical applications.
As a premier supplier, we guarantee that our 51202 bearings meet stringent industry standards. They are manufactured from high-quality bearing steel to provide excellent durability and a long service life, even in demanding operational environments where precise axial load management is critical.
