Product Overview: The 51414M Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51414M is a high-capacity, single-direction thrust ball bearing designed to manage heavy axial loads in a single direction. With a bore diameter of 70mm, an outer diameter of 150mm, and a thickness of 51mm, this bearing is a robust solution for applications requiring precise axial support. As part of our 51400 Series, it features a solid machined brass cage (indicated by the 'M' suffix), which provides superior strength, stability, and performance under demanding conditions. This bearing's design consists of a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly, allowing for easy mounting and dismounting. It is specifically engineered to handle pure thrust loads and must not be subjected to any radial load.
Our commitment is to supply top-tier industrial components, and the 51414M bearing is a prime example. It is manufactured to exacting standards to ensure reliable operation in critical machinery. For a comprehensive selection of axial load solutions, explore our full range of Thrust Ball Bearings.
