Product Overview: The 51411M Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51411M is a high-precision single direction thrust ball bearing, engineered to manage high axial loads in one direction. With dimensions of 55x120x47mm (Bore x Outer Diameter x Thickness), this bearing is a crucial component in applications requiring robust support for vertical or horizontal shafts against thrust forces. As part of our extensive 51400 Series, the 51411M features separable components—a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly—which simplifies mounting and maintenance procedures. The 'M' suffix signifies a machined brass cage, offering superior strength, stability, and performance in high-speed and high-temperature environments. It is an essential part of our Thrust Ball Bearings lineup, designed for reliability in demanding industrial machinery.
