Product Overview: The 51276M Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51276M is a high-capacity, single-direction thrust ball bearing designed to manage heavy axial loads in demanding industrial applications. As a key component in our 51200 Series of Thrust Ball Bearings, this bearing features precise dimensions of 380mm bore diameter, 520mm outer diameter, and 112mm thickness. Its primary function is to accommodate axial loads in one direction while preventing any radial load. The 'M' suffix signifies a robust machined brass cage, which provides superior strength and performance, making it suitable for applications with high speeds, significant acceleration, or high operating temperatures.
This bearing's design consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly. This separability simplifies the mounting and dismounting process, allowing for individual component installation and maintenance. The 51276M is engineered for reliability and durability in machinery where precise axial support is critical.
