Product Overview: The 51322M Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51322M Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-performance component engineered to manage purely axial (thrust) loads in a single direction. With dimensions of 110x190x63mm, this bearing is part of our robust 51300 Series within the broader Thrust Ball Bearings category. Its design features separable components—a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly—which simplifies mounting, dismounting, and maintenance procedures. The 'M' suffix signifies a machined brass cage, which provides superior strength, stability, and resistance to wear, making it suitable for high-speed applications and demanding operating conditions where other cage materials might fail.
As a specialist supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we guarantee that our 51322M bearings meet stringent industry standards for performance and reliability. This bearing is not suitable for radial loads; any radial force must be supported by a separate bearing. It is an essential part for applications involving vertical shafts and heavy axial forces.
Features of the 51322M Bearing
- Single-Direction Axial Load Capacity: Specifically designed to accommodate heavy thrust loads in one direction.
- Separable Design: The components can be mounted individually, allowing for simplified installation, inspection, and maintenance routines.
- Machined Brass Cage: Offers high strength, excellent durability, and is suitable for higher speeds and temperatures compared to standard steel or polyamide cages.
- High Precision: Manufactured to precise tolerances to ensure smooth, low-friction operation and optimal load distribution.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality bearing steel for the washers and balls, ensuring long service life under heavy loads.
- Interchangeability: Adheres to standard ISO dimensions, making it interchangeable with other manufacturers' equivalent parts.
Applications of 51322M Bearings
- Vertical Pumps and Compressors: Provides essential support for vertical shafts subjected to significant axial forces.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Used to support axial loads on shafts within heavy-duty gear systems.
- Machine Tool Spindles: Ensures precision and stability in drilling machines, lathes, and milling machines.
