Product Overview: The 51215 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51215 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-performance component engineered to manage purely axial (thrust) loads in a single direction. With precise dimensions of 75x110x27mm, this bearing is a key part of our 51200 Series and the broader Thrust Ball Bearings collection. Its design consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly. This feature not only simplifies mounting and dismounting but also allows for separate installation of each component, ensuring proper alignment and optimal performance in various industrial applications.
As a specialist supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we provide 51215 bearings manufactured to the highest industry standards. These bearings are essential for applications requiring high-precision rotational support for axial forces, such as in rotating tables, machine tool spindles, and industrial jacks. Their robust construction ensures reliability and a long service life, even in demanding operational environments. Explore our complete range of thrust ball bearings to find the ideal solution for your machinery.
Key Features of the 51215 Bearing
- Single-Direction Axial Load Support: Specifically designed to accommodate heavy thrust loads in one direction.
- Separable Components: Consists of a shaft washer, housing washer, and ball cage assembly, which simplifies installation, inspection, and maintenance routines.
- High-Precision Engineering: Manufactured for close tolerances, ensuring smooth and accurate rotational movement.
- Grooved Raceways: Both the shaft and housing washers feature deep, grooved raceways to effectively support the ball set and manage axial forces.
- Durable Steel Construction: Made from premium-grade bearing steel for exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and longevity.
- Low Friction Operation: The ball and cage design minimizes rotational friction, reducing heat generation and energy consumption.
Common Applications
