51252 M Bearing Product Overview & Core Advantages
The 51252 M is a metric thrust ball bearing engineered for demanding applications requiring high axial load capacity and precision. Its design is optimized to accommodate heavy thrust loads in a single direction while maintaining stable operation. Manufactured from high-grade 52100 Chrome Steel for both rings and balls, this bearing offers excellent durability and wear resistance. The open seal type allows for versatile lubrication options, making it suitable for high-performance systems where reliability is paramount.
51252 M Bearing Model Code Explained, Specifications & Naming Convention
- 51252: Basic model number denoting a thrust ball bearing with a 260mm bore and 360mm outside diameter.
- M: Designates the cage material as Stainless Steel, providing enhanced corrosion resistance and strength for the cage component.
51252 M Bearing Structural Features & Performance Benefits
High Axial Load Capacity: The robust construction and use of chrome steel components enable the bearing to support exceptionally high axial dynamic load ratings of 109,800 lbf and axial static load ratings of 504,000 lbf, making it ideal for heavy-duty thrust applications.
Precision Engineering: Features tight dimensional tolerances on the bore, outside diameter, and width to ensure precise fit and reliable performance in precision machinery.
Optimized Cage Design: The stainless steel cage ensures smooth ball guidance and contributes to the bearing's stability at its limiting speed of 1,100 rpm.
Broad Operating Range: With a temperature range of -30°C to 110°C, this bearing is suitable for various industrial environments.
