Product Overview: The 51104 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51104 Thrust Ball Bearing, with dimensions of 20x35x10mm, is a high-quality component specifically engineered to manage axial loads in a single direction. As a vital part of our 51100 Series, this bearing is a premier choice 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 construction not only facilitates easy mounting and dismounting but also ensures precise and reliable performance in applications where axial forces are predominant.
Manufactured to meet stringent industry standards, the 51104 bearing provides a compact and efficient solution for supporting rotating shafts. It is ideal for low to moderate-speed applications requiring high axial rigidity and minimal axial space. Our commitment as a leading supplier of industrial components guarantees that you receive a dependable product for your machinery's needs.
Key Features of the 51104 Bearing
