Product Overview: The 51220 Thrust Ball Bearing
The 51220 bearing is a high-precision, single-direction thrust ball bearing designed to manage axial loads with exceptional reliability. Part of the 51200 Series within our extensive range of Thrust Ball Bearings, this component is engineered to support heavy thrust loads in one direction while operating at moderate speeds. Its standard dimensions are 100mm bore diameter, 150mm outer diameter, and 38mm thickness. The 51220 features separable components—a shaft washer, a housing washer, and a ball and cage assembly—which simplifies the mounting and dismounting process, making it a practical choice for various industrial applications.
As a premier supplier of industrial mechanical parts, we ensure our 51220 bearings are manufactured to the highest industry standards. This guarantees optimal performance, durability, and interchangeability. These bearings are essential in machinery where axial support is critical, ensuring smooth and precise rotational movement under load.
Key Features of the 51220 Bearing
- Axial Load Capacity: Specifically designed to accommodate heavy axial (thrust) loads in a single direction.
- Separable Design: The bearing's components can be mounted separately, simplifying installation, inspection, and maintenance routines.
- High Precision: Manufactured to tight tolerances, making it suitable for applications requiring high running accuracy.
