Product Overview: The 51212 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51212 Thrust Ball Bearing is a precision-engineered component designed specifically to manage axial (thrust) loads in a single direction. With a bore diameter of 60mm, an outer diameter of 95mm, and a thickness of 26mm, this bearing is part of our comprehensive 51200 Series within the broader Thrust Ball Bearings category. Its design consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly. This separability simplifies mounting and dismounting, making it a practical choice for a wide range of industrial applications where reliable axial load support is crucial.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 51212 bearings are manufactured to the highest industry standards, providing excellent performance and durability. These bearings are essential for applications involving vertical shafts and rotating assemblies, preventing axial movement and ensuring smooth, low-friction operation.
