Product Overview: The 51211 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51211 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-quality, precision-engineered component designed to manage purely axial (thrust) loads in a single direction. With dimensions of 55x90x25mm (Bore x Outer Diameter x Thickness), this bearing is a key part of our 51200 Series, which falls under the broader Thrust Ball Bearings category. Its design features separable components—a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly—which simplifies the mounting and dismounting process significantly. This construction allows each part to be installed independently, ensuring proper alignment and ease of maintenance.
As a specialist supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we ensure our 51211 bearings meet stringent industry standards for performance and reliability. They are indispensable in applications where rotational components are subjected to heavy axial forces, such as in vertical shafts and indexing tables. The design is optimized to provide smooth, low-friction operation, preventing wear and extending the lifespan of machinery.
Key Features of the 51211 Bearing
- Axial Load Support: Specifically designed to handle high axial loads in one direction. Not suitable for radial loads.
- Separable Design: Consists of a shaft washer, housing washer, and ball cage assembly that can be mounted separately for easy installation and inspection.
- High-Grade Steel Construction: Manufactured from premium bearing steel for exceptional durability and resistance to wear and fatigue.
- Precision Engineering: Produced to tight tolerances to ensure smooth and efficient rotational performance.
- Simple Mounting: The separable nature of the components makes it easy to integrate into various machine designs.
- Low Friction: The ball rolling elements provide low-friction support for rotating shafts under axial stress.
