Product Overview: The 51330 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51330 is a high-performance single-direction thrust ball bearing designed to manage heavy axial loads in one direction. With precise dimensions of 150mm Bore Diameter, 270mm Outer Diameter, and 93mm Thickness, it is a substantial component engineered for reliability in demanding industrial applications. As part of our 51300 Series, this bearing is a key member of our extensive range of Thrust Ball Bearings. Its design consists of two washers (a shaft washer and a housing washer) with raceways, and a ball and cage assembly. This separable construction simplifies mounting and dismounting procedures, making it a practical choice for various machinery.
The 51330 is specifically designed to handle thrust loads and must not be subjected to any radial load. It provides a high degree of stiffness and is ideal for applications requiring robust axial support and precision. Our commitment to quality ensures that each 51330 bearing meets stringent industry standards for performance and longevity.
