Product Overview: The 51312 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51312 Thrust Ball Bearing is a precision-engineered component designed specifically to handle purely axial (thrust) loads in a single direction. With a bore diameter of 60mm, an outer diameter of 105mm, and a thickness of 31mm, this bearing is an integral part of our 51300 Series within 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 separability simplifies the mounting and dismounting process, making it a practical choice for various industrial applications where precise axial support is critical.
As a specialist supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 51312 bearings meet stringent quality standards. They are engineered to provide high rigidity and accommodate heavy axial loads, making them indispensable in machinery where rotational components are subjected to significant thrust forces. Explore our complete range of thrust bearings to find the perfect solution for your specific engineering challenge.
