Product Overview: The 51426 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51426 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-performance component designed to manage significant axial loads in a single direction. With precise dimensions of 130x280x93mm (Bore Diameter x Outer Diameter x Thickness), this bearing is a key part of our 51400 Series within the broader Thrust Ball Bearings collection. Its design consists of two washers (a shaft and a housing washer) with raceway grooves and a ball and cage assembly. This separable construction simplifies mounting and dismounting procedures, making it a practical choice for various industrial applications where precise axial support is critical.
As a leading supplier of industrial components, we ensure our 51426 bearings meet stringent quality standards, providing reliability and a long service life for heavy-duty machinery. These bearings are specifically engineered to handle pure thrust loads and must not be subjected to any radial load.
