Product Overview: The 51417 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51417 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-capacity component engineered to manage significant axial (thrust) loads in one direction. As a vital part of our 51400 Series, this bearing is designed with industry-standard dimensions of 85x180x58mm. It consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly, which simplifies mounting and maintenance procedures. This design makes it an ideal choice for applications where high axial stiffness and precision are paramount, ensuring smooth and reliable operation under demanding conditions. Explore our comprehensive range of Thrust Ball Bearings to find the perfect solution for your industrial machinery.
