51100 Ball Thrust Bearings Series

51100 Ball Thrust Bearings are rotary bearings designed to handle high axial loads parallel to the shaft. Composed of two grooved washers, caged rolling balls, and a steel ball retainer, these bearings excel in higher-speed applications requiring oil lubrication. Unlike roller thrust bearings, they accommodate single-direction axial loads and offer higher speed capabilities, though they are suited for lower load capacities.
