Product Overview: The 51203 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51203 Thrust Ball Bearing is a precision-engineered component designed specifically to manage axial (thrust) loads in a single direction. With a bore diameter of 17mm, an outer diameter of 35mm, and a thickness of 12mm, this bearing is part of the reliable 51200 Series within our extensive range of Thrust Ball Bearings. Its design consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly. This makes for straightforward mounting and dismounting, simplifying installation and maintenance procedures in various industrial applications.
As a key supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we ensure our 51203 bearings are manufactured to meet high industry standards. They provide a simple, effective, and economical solution for applications where pure axial forces are present, ensuring smooth and low-friction rotational movement. For any machinery requiring robust axial load support, the 51203 is an excellent choice.
