Product Overview: The 88501 Thrust Roller Bearing
The 88501 Thrust Roller Bearing is a specialized component engineered to manage high axial (thrust) loads in a single direction. With precise dimensions of 12.7mm Bore Diameter, 27.8mm Outer Diameter, and 11mm Thickness, this bearing is designed for applications where rotational motion is subjected to significant axial force. As part of our Thrust Roller Bearings collection, the 88501 consists of a cage with rollers, a shaft washer, and a housing washer, allowing for easy mounting and maintenance.
This bearing's design ensures that axial loads are distributed evenly across the cylindrical rollers, providing high stiffness and minimal deformation under load. It is a critical component in various industrial and automotive systems where reliable axial load support is essential for operational efficiency and longevity. Trust in our expertise as a premier supplier of industrial parts to provide high-quality bearings that meet rigorous performance standards.
Key Features of the 88501 Bearing
- High Axial Load Capacity: Specifically designed to withstand heavy thrust loads in one direction.
- Separable Components: The shaft washer, housing washer, and roller assembly are separate, simplifying installation and inspection.
- High Stiffness: The roller design provides excellent axial rigidity, making it suitable for applications requiring precise positioning.
- Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel for superior strength, durability, and wear resistance.
