Product Overview: The 51412 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51412 bearing is a high-performance component from our comprehensive 51400 Series Thrust Ball Bearings. Specifically engineered to handle heavy axial loads, this bearing is crucial for applications where forces are predominantly directed along the shaft axis. Its design, featuring a bore diameter of 60 mm, an outer diameter of 135 mm, and a thickness of 55 mm, ensures robust performance and stability under demanding conditions.
Unlike radial bearings, the 51412 thrust ball bearing is designed to support high axial forces in one direction, making it an indispensable part in various industrial machinery. The separable components, including the shaft washer, housing washer, and ball and cage assembly, allow for easy mounting and dismounting, simplifying maintenance and installation processes. As a trusted supplier of industrial bearings, we ensure our 51412 bearings meet rigorous industry standards for precision and durability, providing reliable operation and extending the lifespan of your equipment.
