Product Overview: The 51410 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51410 bearing is a high-performance, single-direction thrust ball bearing designed to manage heavy axial loads in one direction. As a key component in our 51400 Series, this bearing features dimensions of 50x110x42.2mm (Bore x Outer Diameter x Thickness). Its design consists of two precision washers (a shaft washer and a housing washer) with raceways and a ball and cage assembly. This separable construction allows for simple mounting and dismounting, making it a practical choice for a wide range of industrial applications. The primary function of this bearing is to facilitate rotation with low friction while supporting significant axial forces, ensuring the stability and longevity of machinery.
