Product Overview: The 51413 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51413 Thrust Ball Bearing is a high-performance component designed to manage significant axial loads in a single direction. With precise dimensions of 65x140x51mm (Bore Diameter x Outer Diameter x Thickness), this bearing is a key part of our 51400 Series within the broader Thrust Ball Bearings category. Its design consists of two grooved washers (a shaft washer and a housing washer) and a ball and cage assembly. This separable construction simplifies mounting and dismounting, making it ideal for various industrial applications where precision and reliability are paramount.
Engineered to support thrust loads exclusively, the 51413 cannot accommodate any radial loads. The deep raceway grooves in the washers are designed for close conformity with the balls, enabling the bearing to handle high axial forces while maintaining smooth and efficient operation. As a trusted supplier of industrial parts, we ensure our 51413 bearings meet rigorous quality standards for longevity and performance in demanding mechanical systems.
