Product Overview: The 51348 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51348 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered specifically to manage high axial loads in a single direction. With precise dimensions of 240mm bore diameter, 360mm outer diameter, and 95mm thickness, this bearing is a robust solution for heavy-duty applications. As part of our 51300 Series, it is designed for scenarios where no radial load is present. Its construction features separable components—a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly—which simplifies the mounting and dismounting process significantly. This design is crucial for ensuring proper installation and maintenance in complex machinery.
As a specialist supplier of industrial components, we provide top-quality Thrust Ball Bearings that meet rigorous industry standards. The 51348 is manufactured from premium-grade bearing steel to deliver exceptional performance, durability, and a long service life under demanding operational conditions. It is an essential part for ensuring smooth and efficient rotation in various vertical shaft applications.
