Axial ball bearings
Overview:
Axial ball bearings, also known as thrust ball bearings, are designed to support axial loads in one direction while allowing for high speed operation. The 51100-51104 series of axial ball bearings are precision-engineered components suitable for applications requiring axial load capacity with minimal friction resistance and high durability.
Technical Specifications:
- Series: 51100-51104
- Type: Axial ball bearings (Thrust ball bearings)
- Material: Steel or stainless steel
- Cage: Often made from steel or brass
- Lubrication: Can be lubricated with grease or oil for smooth operation and extended service life.
Application:
Axial ball bearings from the 51100-51104 series are commonly used in applications where axial loads need to be supported, such as in automotive transmissions, machine tools, pumps, and gearboxes. These bearings are particularly suitable for applications with high speed operation and moderate axial loads.
Benefits:
- Axial load support: Designed to withstand axial loads in one direction, providing reliable support for rotating shafts or components.
- High speed capability: Able to accommodate high rotational speeds, making them suitable for applications with rapid motion.
- Compact design: The compact and lightweight design of axial ball bearings allows for easy integration into various mechanical systems.
- Low friction: Precision manufacturing and high-quality materials result in minimal friction, reducing energy consumption and heat generation.
