Product Overview: The 51308 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51308 bearing is a precision-engineered single-direction Thrust Ball Bearing, part of our robust 51300 Series. Designed specifically to accommodate heavy axial loads in one direction, it is not suitable for radial loads. This bearing features separable components, including a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly, which simplifies mounting and dismounting procedures. With dimensions of 40mm bore diameter, 80mm outer diameter, and 23mm thickness, the 51308 is crucial for applications requiring stable support under significant axial forces.
As a leading supplier of industrial bearings, we ensure our 51308 bearings meet rigorous industry standards for performance and longevity. They are manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, providing excellent wear resistance and reliable operation in diverse industrial environments. Explore our complete range of thrust ball bearings to find the optimal solution for your machinery's axial load requirements. For compatible accessories like lock nuts, consider products such as the KM 08 or MB 08.
