Product Overview: The 51405 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51405 Thrust Ball Bearing is a specialized component engineered to manage purely axial loads in a single direction. With key dimensions of 25x60x24mm (Bore x Outer Diameter x Height), this bearing is a crucial part of our 51400 Series within 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 feature simplifies mounting and dismounting, making it ideal for applications where precision and ease of maintenance are paramount.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we provide high-quality 51405 bearings that adhere to strict industry standards. These bearings are designed to provide low-friction axial support, ensuring smooth and reliable operation in a variety of rotating machinery. They are not suitable for radial loads, but excel in applications where thrust forces are the primary concern. Explore our full range of thrust ball bearings for all your industrial needs.
