Product Overview: The 51328 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51328 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-performance component engineered to manage heavy axial loads in a single direction. With dimensions of 140x250x85mm, this bearing is part of the robust 51300 Series within our extensive range 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 where precision and reliability are essential.
Designed to handle purely axial forces, the 51328 is not suitable for radial loads. Its precise construction ensures smooth operation and efficient load distribution, making it ideal for machinery with vertical shafts or applications requiring high axial stiffness. As a leading supplier, we ensure our thrust bearings meet stringent quality standards for durability and performance in demanding environments.
Key Features of the 51328 Bearing
- Axial Load Capacity: Specifically designed to accommodate high axial (thrust) loads in one direction.
- Separable Components: The shaft washer, housing washer, and ball-cage assembly can be mounted independently, facilitating easy installation and maintenance.
- High Precision: Manufactured to strict tolerances to ensure accurate and reliable performance.
- Single-Direction Design: Optimized for managing thrust forces acting along a single axial path.
- Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, hardened bearing steel for excellent wear resistance and a long operational life.
- Standardized Dimensions: Conforms to ISO standards, ensuring interchangeability with other standard thrust bearings.
