Product Overview: The 51214 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51214 bearing is a precision-engineered component from our specialized 51200 Series Thrust Ball Bearings. This specific bearing features a 70mm bore diameter, a 100mm outer diameter, and a 25mm thickness. Designed to withstand high axial loads in one direction, the 51214 bearing is crucial for applications where shafts rotate under significant thrust. Unlike radial bearings, thrust ball bearings are specifically constructed to handle forces parallel to the shaft axis, making them ideal for vertical shaft applications or situations where heavy axial loads are present.
Our 51214 thrust ball bearings are manufactured to rigorous industrial standards, ensuring exceptional durability and reliable performance. They consist of a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly, which allows for smooth rotation and minimal friction under heavy axial loads. These bearings are indispensable in various types of machinery, contributing to their efficiency and longevity by effectively managing axial forces. Explore our comprehensive range of thrust ball bearings to discover robust solutions for your industrial needs.
