Product Overview: The 51324 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51324 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-performance component engineered to manage significant axial loads in a single direction. With dimensions of 120x210x70mm, this bearing is a key part of our 51300 Series and 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 configuration allows for straightforward mounting and dismounting, making it ideal for applications where precision and reliability under heavy axial stress are paramount. Please note that this bearing is designed exclusively for thrust loads and must not be subjected to any radial load.
Key Features of the 51324 Bearing
- High Axial Load Capacity: Specifically engineered to support heavy thrust loads in one direction.
- Separable Components: The shaft washer, housing washer, and ball cage assembly can be mounted separately, simplifying installation and maintenance.
- Precision Machined: Manufactured to exacting standards to ensure smooth, low-friction operation.
- High-Quality Steel Construction: Made from premium bearing steel for exceptional durability and long service life.
- Axial Specificity: Designed for pure axial loads, making it highly effective in targeted applications.
- Standardized Dimensions: Ensures interchangeability with other standard bearings of the same size.
Common Applications for 51324 Bearings
- Industrial Gearboxes: Supports axial forces on vertical shafts and gears.
- Rotating Tables and Indexing Tables: Provides stable rotational support for heavy, vertically oriented loads.
- Machine Tool Spindles: Used in drilling and milling machines to handle axial cutting forces.
- Crane Hooks and Swivels: Essential for managing the heavy downward forces in lifting equipment.
