512/950-M Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 512/950-M is a thrust ball bearing engineered for heavy-duty axial load applications. This metric series bearing features a large 950 mm bore and is designed to accommodate unidirectional thrust loads with exceptional capacity. Manufactured from 52100 Chrome Steel for both rings and balls, it delivers high strength and durability. Its robust construction makes it ideal for applications demanding high axial static and dynamic load ratings, providing reliable performance in demanding industrial environments.
512/950-M Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
| Code Segment | Technical Meaning |
|---|---|
| 512 | Indicates the thrust ball bearing series. |
| 950 | Specifies the bore diameter in millimeters (950 mm). |
| M | Designates a copper alloy cage (based on the provided cage material: Chrome Steel, which is consistent with a robust cage design for high load applications). |
512/950-M Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
- High Load Capacity: Engineered to handle significant axial dynamic loads (469,176 lbf) and very high axial static loads (3,816,806 lbf), making it suitable for massive thrust forces.
- Robust Construction: The use of 52100 Chrome Steel for all critical components (rings, balls) ensures high hardness, wear resistance, and long service life under heavy loads.
- Precision Tolerances: Features tight dimensional tolerances on the bore, outside diameter, and width, ensuring precise fit and stable operation in the assembly.
- Cage Design: The chrome steel cage provides excellent strength and guidance for the balls, contributing to stable operation and extended bearing life.
- Compliance: Meets ROHS and REACH standards, ensuring environmental compliance for global markets.
Note on Lubrication: This is an open bearing and requires appropriate lubrication for operation. The specified temperature range of -30°C to 110°C should be considered when selecting a compatible lubricant.
