51112 Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 51112 is a metric thrust ball bearing engineered for high-precision axial load applications. Designed exclusively to accommodate thrust loads in a single direction, this bearing features an open design for optimal lubrication access and heat dissipation. Manufactured from 52100 Chrome Steel with a stainless steel cage, it delivers exceptional durability and reliable performance in demanding environments. Its compact cross-section and precise dimensional tolerances make it ideal for applications where space constraints and axial load capacity are critical design considerations.
51112 Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Model Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 51112 | Standard designation for a metric thrust ball bearing with a 60mm bore and 85mm outside diameter. |
| Open (Seal Type) | No integral seals or shields, allowing for custom lubrication schemes and facilitating higher speed operation with external lubrication. |
51112 Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Axial Rigidity & Load Capacity: The bearing's dedicated thrust design provides high stiffness against axial forces, with a substantial axial dynamic load rating of 9360 lbf and an axial static load rating of 27450 lbf.
- Precision Engineering: Manufactured to tight dimensional tolerances on the bore, outside diameter, and width, ensuring precise location and smooth operation within assemblies.
- Durable Material Construction: Components made from 52100 Chrome Steel (rings and balls) offer high wear resistance and fatigue life. The stainless steel cage provides excellent corrosion resistance and cage integrity.
- Optimized for Lubrication: The open seal type allows for easy re-lubrication and is suitable for oil or grease systems, contributing to its limiting speed of 5000 rpm and extended service life.
