Product Overview: The 51310 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51310 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-performance component engineered to manage significant axial loads in a single direction. With precise dimensions of a 50mm bore diameter, a 95mm outer diameter, and a 31mm height, this bearing is a key part of our 51300 Series product line. It belongs to the broader category of Thrust Ball Bearings, which are essential for applications involving rotating shafts subjected to heavy thrust forces. The design consists of two washers (a shaft and housing washer) with raceway grooves and a ball and cage assembly, allowing for smooth, low-friction operation under axial stress. This bearing is not suitable for radial loads.
As a specialist supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 51310 bearings are manufactured to the highest industry standards. Their separable design simplifies the mounting and dismounting process, making installation and maintenance more efficient. This type of bearing is crucial for maintaining the operational integrity and longevity of various heavy-duty machinery.
