Product Overview: The 51236 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51236 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered to manage significant axial (thrust) loads in a single direction. With precise dimensions of 180x250x54mm (Bore x Outer Diameter x Thickness), this bearing is a crucial part of our 51200 Series within the broader Thrust Ball Bearings collection. Its design consists of separable components—a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly—which simplifies the mounting and dismounting process. This bearing is specifically designed to handle loads parallel to the shaft's axis and should not be subjected to any radial load.
As a leading supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we ensure our 51236 bearings are manufactured to the highest industry standards, providing durability and reliable performance in demanding applications. The grooved raceways in the washers are designed to perfectly accommodate the balls, ensuring smooth operation and efficient transfer of axial forces. Explore our comprehensive range of thrust ball bearings to find the ideal solution for your machinery's axial load requirements.
