Product Overview: The 51313 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51313 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-performance component engineered to manage high axial loads in a single direction. With dimensions of 65x115x37mm, this bearing is a key part of our 51300 Series, which falls under the broader category of Thrust Ball Bearings. Its design consists of three separable parts: a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly. This feature simplifies mounting and dismounting procedures, making it a practical choice for various industrial applications.
Manufactured from high-quality bearing steel, the 51313 provides excellent durability and resistance to wear under demanding conditions. The precision-engineered raceways ensure smooth, low-friction operation, which is critical for applications requiring precise axial positioning of rotating shafts. This bearing is not suitable for radial loads and must be used exclusively for thrust applications.
Key Features of the 51313 Bearing
- Separable Components: The shaft washer, housing washer, and ball cage assembly can be mounted separately, simplifying installation and maintenance.
- Axial Load Capacity: Specifically designed to accommodate heavy axial (thrust) loads in one direction.
- High-Grade Steel Construction: Made from premium bearing steel for enhanced strength, durability, and a long operational lifespan.
- Precision Engineering: Features finely ground raceways that minimize rotational friction and ensure smooth performance.
- Interchangeable Design: Adheres to industry-standard dimensions, allowing for easy replacement and interchangeability.
- Simple Mounting: Its design allows for straightforward integration into machinery where axial support is required.
Common Applications of 51313 Bearings
- Machine Tool Spindles: Commonly used in drill presses, lathes, and milling machines to support axial forces.
- Industrial Gearboxes: Provides axial support for gears and shafts, ensuring proper alignment and load distribution.
- Rotating and Indexing Tables: Essential for the smooth and precise rotation of heavy-duty turntables.
- Automotive Systems: Utilized in applications such as clutch release mechanisms to handle thrust forces.
- Vertical Shafts: Ideal for supporting the weight and axial load of vertically oriented shafts in pumps and motors.
- Crane Hooks: Used in lifting equipment to allow hooks to swivel freely under heavy loads.
- Jacks and Screw Mechanisms: Provides the necessary thrust support in mechanical and hydraulic lifting devices.
Benefits of Using the 51313 Bearing
