Product Overview: The 51326 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51326 bearing is a high-capacity, single-direction thrust ball bearing engineered to manage substantial axial loads in one direction. With precise dimensions of 130x230x78mm (Bore x Outer Diameter x Thickness), this component is a crucial part of our 51300 Series within the broader Thrust Ball Bearings collection. Its design consists of separable components—a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly—which simplifies the mounting and dismounting process. This bearing is specifically designed to support shafts and prevent axial movement, making it indispensable in heavy-duty machinery where axial forces are predominant.
As a specialist supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 51326 bearings meet stringent quality standards. They are manufactured to provide reliable, low-friction performance under demanding conditions, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of your equipment. Explore our range of thrust bearings to find the ideal solution for your specific axial load requirements.
