Product Overview: The 51108 Single-Direction Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51108 thrust ball bearing is a precision-engineered component from our specialized 51100 Series Thrust Ball Bearings. Designed specifically to accommodate axial loads in one direction, this bearing is crucial for applications where shafts rotate under significant axial forces. With its standard dimensions of 40mm bore diameter, 60mm outer diameter, and 13mm thickness, the 51108 offers a compact yet robust solution for demanding industrial environments.
Thrust ball bearings like the 51108 are separable, meaning the shaft washer, housing washer, and ball and cage assembly can be mounted independently. This feature simplifies installation and maintenance, making it a preferred choice for various machinery. Our commitment as a leading supplier of industrial bearings ensures that the 51108 bearing meets stringent quality standards, providing reliable and efficient performance for critical mechanical systems. Explore our comprehensive selection of thrust ball bearings to discover the perfect fit for your industrial needs.
