Product Overview: The 51409 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51409 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-quality, precision-engineered component designed specifically to manage high axial (thrust) loads in a single direction. With dimensions of 45x100x39mm, this bearing is a key part of our 51400 Series and the broader category of Thrust Ball Bearings. Its design is not suitable for radial loads. The bearing is separable, consisting of a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly, which simplifies mounting and maintenance procedures. The grooved raceways in the washers are precisely matched to the balls, enabling it to support heavy axial forces with minimal friction.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we ensure that the 51409 bearing meets rigorous industry standards for performance and durability. It is an essential part in machinery where precise axial positioning of a shaft is critical. Explore our complete selection of thrust ball bearings to find the ideal solution for your application's specific load requirements.
