Product Overview: The 51424 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51424 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-capacity precision component designed specifically to manage heavy axial loads in a single direction. With principal dimensions of a 120mm bore diameter, a 260mm outer diameter, and a thickness of 85mm, this bearing is part of our robust 51400 Series of Thrust Ball Bearings. Its design is ideal for applications where rotational components are subjected to significant thrust forces, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. This type of bearing is not suitable for radial loads.
The 51424 features a separable design, consisting of a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly. This simplifies the mounting and dismounting process, making it a practical choice for various industrial machinery. Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, it provides excellent durability and a long service life when operated under its specified conditions. Explore our comprehensive range of thrust ball bearings to find the ideal solution for your axial load management needs.
