Product Overview: The 51106 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51106 bearing is a precision-engineered component designed to accommodate high axial loads, making it an essential part of our comprehensive 51100 Series Thrust Ball Bearings. With dimensions of a 30mm bore, 47mm outer diameter, and 11mm thickness, this bearing is specifically constructed to handle forces acting parallel to the axis of rotation. Its design features a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly, all of which can be mounted separately, simplifying assembly and maintenance processes.
As a leading provider of industrial bearings and mechanical parts, we ensure that our 51106 thrust ball bearings meet stringent industry standards for performance and durability. They are crucial in applications where axial forces are predominant and rotational accuracy at moderate speeds is required. This bearing facilitates smooth, low-friction operation, contributing to the efficiency and longevity of various mechanical systems. Explore our full range of thrust ball bearings to find the ideal solution for your specific axial load requirements.
