Product Overview: The 51110 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51110 Thrust Ball Bearing is a precision-engineered component designed specifically to manage single-direction axial loads in a variety of industrial applications. With dimensions of 50mm bore diameter, 70mm outer diameter, and 14mm thickness, this bearing is part of our reliable 51100 Series. As a type of Thrust Ball Bearing, its design consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly. This construction simplifies mounting and dismounting procedures, making it a practical choice for maintenance-heavy environments.
Our 51110 bearings are manufactured to meet stringent industry standards, ensuring high performance and durability. They are ideal for applications where no radial load is present and precise axial positioning of the shaft is required. By providing a low-friction solution for rotational motion under thrust loads, these bearings are essential for the smooth operation of machinery such as industrial turntables, jacks, and gearboxes.
Key Features of the 51110 Bearing
- Separable Components: The shaft washer, housing washer, and ball cage assembly can be mounted separately, simplifying installation and inspection.
- Single-Direction Axial Load: Specifically designed to accommodate high axial loads in one direction, ensuring stability and precision.
- Grooved Raceways: Features grooved raceways in both the shaft and housing washers to provide optimal support for the balls, enabling smooth operation.
- High-Grade Steel Construction: Manufactured from premium bearing steel for exceptional hardness, wear resistance, and a long service life.
- Precision Engineering: Produced with tight tolerances to ensure accurate and consistent performance under operational stress.
- Compact Design: Offers a high thrust capacity within a minimal axial space, making it suitable for compact machinery designs.
