Product Overview: The 51307 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51307 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-quality, single-direction bearing engineered to manage axial (thrust) loads in one direction. With dimensions of 35x75x27mm, this component is part of our 51300 Series, a key offering within our comprehensive range of Thrust Ball Bearings. Its design consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly. This feature simplifies mounting and maintenance, as each component can be installed independently.
As a specialist supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 51307 bearings are manufactured to precise standards. They are designed for applications where high axial stiffness and load-carrying capacity are required, making them indispensable for vertical shafts and machinery where thrust forces are predominant. Explore our selection to find the ideal axial load solution for your specific industrial application.
